Jonesey and Porkie Pie

Thank you very much for your specific replies. I never thought of wikipedia!

Now I know why the names of the 3 Thompsons are linked with a member of my husband's family. Couldn't place them because I didn't have the Nottingham link.

Thanks again for your early morning checking of the chat column.

Lois :-)

Long Eaton is in the County of Derbyshire on the border with Nottinghamshire. Most residences have a Nottingham address with the Nottingham postcode prefix NG, and use the Nottingham telephone area code 0115.

I surmise that many people were rather curt to the enumerator.
They always seem to come around a meal preparation time!
Here in NZ we have had our census for this year postponed indefinitely due to the Christchurch continuing earthquakes situation - over 7500 in Christchurch area since September last year & they still continue!

The names you list ring some bells with me but my English locator beacon is hopeless.

Where is Long Eaton please?
