Just had to share this with you all. Looking into relatives living in Wanborough and found a website which had some census transcripts. On a transcript for the 1901 Census I think it was it has an entry with Surname "A Strange Man", Address, "Wanborough Road In a Barn", no occupation or any other details given. Its no wonder we all have problems finding our relatives on Census's, perhaps they're just listed as Strange or Odd maybe??

Must have been a Female Census Taker. I thought that, to a woman, all men are strange. Lol Jim
