I saw this message on the Staffordshire List and thought it might interest
you.


>Hello Bob,

>Another entry from the 1861 Handsworth census. Again if you would like the
copy, send a snail mail address and I'll send it along.

>4 - Aldridge Warf

>Joseph Wootton, head, mar, 62, boat builder, Bloxwich?, Stafford
>M, wife, mar, 49, ""
>H, daur, un, 14, Stafford
>L, daur, un, 10, Stafford
>
>Very strange using only the first letter of the names. First time I've
seen this. This census taker couldn't spell very well, has baot builder for
Joseph's profession. Boat makes more sense with living at the wharf.

>All for now.
>Cheers
