Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

A journalist living in Herne Hill, London, has written across the bottom of the Household Form, tongue in cheek perhaps......

Incidentally, we have an Airedale Terrier. I do not know whether particulars are required, but in case you want them, here they are:

Name: Roger; Age: 5 years; Children bn alive: Lot, something over 100; Occupation: Watchdog - Looking after house - On own a lot; Resides: At home and outside; Born: Keighley, Yorks

LOL

I'd love to see how Ancestry transcribed that!
