Kath - I know you've got your answer but in France if you do something 'par amour' it means that you do it for love. Sarah :-) |

Perhaps the Enumerator caught them in flagrante delicto as it were and knew them anyway, so thought he would record his opinion on paper - who was going to see it? They didnt know about Genes Reunited back then! OC |

Very often the enumerator would give more information than required. It says as much about them as it does about the people they were listing. |

I think it says more about the probable illiteracy of the population, that the enumerators could put down whatever they liked. I have a child on one of my census reports described as 'Base born'. Nice, that. |

Possibly it tells you a little of his character that he hasn't tried to hide the situation from the census enumerator! Merry |

Also his poor wife is at work at the time of the 1901 census Poor woman!!! |
