Did you know… According to Home Office Correspondence files held by The National Archives (HO45/7098) the 1861 census for Stocksfield, Northumberland, includes three people who were not even in the country. John Featherstone Ayton, corn factor and farmer, included three of his sons on the census schedule, in defiance of the instructions to householders. He maintained that since they were part of the population, they should be included, even though they were away at school in Germany at the time. from http://www.familyrecords.gov.uk/frc/news/fr_34.htm Christine |
