The census taker apparently got months employed wrong, he listed almost everyone on this and immediately adjacent pages as unemployed 12 months out of year. On a later page he struck out a page full of 12 month entries, leaving no entries. The census taker appears to have got some of the birth places wrong, need to check another census to confirm.1 |
