I'm just transcribing Upper Hundreds, Aylesbury, & I've reached my fathers mothers great grandfather, Henry Brown. His wife was named Catherine. It clearly says so in their marriage record, in the birth certificate of her son Edward (1838), in the parish egister entries for the births of most of their children, in the 1851 & 1871 censuses & her burial record in 1879. So I presume it was mis-copied from the schedule into the enumerators book, & I'm left wondering how common this was. I'm sure "Caroline" is my Catherine. Age, husband, children & location all match. It's frustrating having to transcribe her as Caroline when I know it's wrong! Paul
