Could have been a lodging house. I found Dick Turpin and Sweeny Todd both living at 4 North E Passage, Middx. in 1881. No where near as imaginative as Robert Goodman though. Brenda |

Thanks Geoff, I have had a really awful day at work and just thought I'd log on to see what everyone was talking about tonight. That really couldn't have come at a better time. I wonder who decided to slip that one in - did international playboy's exist in 1881? Cleo |

Read it last night and I still have the giggles. Didn't find them in the 1901 either, but as you all say it good for a laugh and does brighten up a cold dull day. Irene |

This topic is so funny that it deserves to be a Christmas No. 1 !!!!! I have printed 16 Acacia Gardens on the 1881 to show the family! Geoff, how on earth did you come across this? Was it during your own research or did someone else tell you about it? Aileen |

This is funny, but must be false as it shows John Gordon as born in Pakistan.....which didnt exist until after the Indian Independance in 1947-8. Someone obviously felt we were in need of a laugh whilst wading through the 1881, and it has been much appreciated! Are there any more???? Yvette |

Ho ho ho check the addresses either side, it does not appear to be a particularly posh area, and the either sides are not Acacia Gardens. It caused a big laugh at work today. |

Lesley You dont need the disc, the 1881 census is online at familysearch(.)org take out the brackets, or you can get to it by going to the resource centre on the left and the onto the links page. Debbie |

It does state that Robert Goodmans handicap is Lunatic Perhaps 16 Acacia Gardens was his own his own private asylum And all the so called servants were really inmates Bren |

Must be somebody messing around on the LDS site - or one of the transcribers getting bored. Click on the File No. it is just a blank page. Gave me a laugh anyway. Kathleen |
