No Marie, it means that the name has probably been mis-transcribed from the handwritten census records. Volunteers read the sheets and input what they think it says to the electronic versions that we have access to.
It's very easy to look at something hand written and read it differently. One of the joys of family research I'm afraid!

So if Sarah (mother) was formerly Thorp can we assume that this was her second marriage? Perhaps she was born Ellis?

a while ago i got stuck on trying to find sarah jane pleasant. I am now retrying. I have now found whom i think is her mother SARAH PLEASANT and father GEORGE PLEASANT and also their children (all born in Crowle) in the 1871 census. I have Sarah Janes birth certificate, which states that her mother was called sarah pleasant formerly THORP and that sarah jane was born in Crowle, so i think ive got the right family. MY PROBLEM NOW IS ive searched for the siblings births and i cant find any of them. The census shows that charles was born 1855, annie elizabeth 1859, Emily 1864. Sarah was born 1831 and George 1821. Can anyone please help
