I have subscribed to Ancestry for a number of years and have had access to this census since it was added to the site. It is very valuable, but can also be frustrating. Some of the pages appear to have been written in disappearing ink, and I do not know whether this is a problem with the originals or whether the image capture is poor. Also, I have many family members that are known to have been in Canada in 1911, but cannot be found on the census. I do not know whether they were missed (not enumerated) or whether the indexing to make the census searchable was done poorly. I suspect that it is a combination of the two. Still, when you find something, it is always worth the search.

The date of the entry would have some influence on the interpretation of the entry. As a general rule, the older the entry, the less specific the meaning. Tabes refers to a degenerative process with gradual loss of certain functions. By the 20th century, the term was most often used with tabes dorsalis, which is an advanced stage of neurosyphilis. The syphilis attacks (among other things) the dorsal column of the spinal cord with a resulting loss of coordination and with progression through the brain, ultimately death ensues. When I was in medical school 45 years ago, there were still many WW1 veterans living who had contracted syphilis in the days before antibiotic therapy had been developed. The neurology unit at the veterans hospital was full of them and we could immediately recognize them because of their unique and awkward gait as they came down the hall. Treatment before the 1940's was limited to such things as arsenic (we could see large arsenic deposits in their buttocks when looking at x-rays more than 40 years later), and even when penicillin was being produced in the 1940's, most of it was reserved for the treatment of the soldiers in WW2 and not easily available to the civilian population.

FYI - hopefully, this will be of interest to some! It's from another list I'm on: 27 June 2010: the re-broadcast of a programme originally put out on 14 October 2008, regarding smuggling at Eyemouth on the Scottish Borders, which includes an item by Helen Doe who draws parallels with smuggling at Polperro in Cornwall - for a podcast of the broadcast see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/mhistory I would think that it will be replaced by the next edition of the programme on Tuesday.

Hi John, Not sure about Cornish clogs, but the Bal Maidens (surface female mine workers in the 1800s) used to nail pieces of tin (called scoots) to the soles of their boots to save wear and tear. The dancing in Cornwall done by them was loud, noisy and fun. If you would like to see some of the dancing let me know and our dance group will be happy to perform for you!!

As people have said, the wearing of clogs was pretty widespread. They werent all wooden though, many had a leather upper and wooden sole. And there was also the medieval patten, which was a wooden overshoe a bit like strapping a pair of low stilts to your feet. The point of all this of course was practical. If you were a wealthy person walking round on paved surfaces you were fine but try walking along a muddy lane in winter or working in a farmyard or crossing a street piled up with animal dung.

And there's more "It is not know when clogs with leather uppers and wooden soles were first introduced into the north west of England but by the beginning of the industrial revolution in 1750 these were known to be worn. They were also worn by factory & farm workers in Wales & Scotland, north east England and Cornwall. 19th century industrialisation meant that clog wearing became more prominent as clogs were a strong cheap, weatherproof footwear for wear by factory workers. Clogs are still worn in England and Wales for folk and morris dancing." from http://www.eliznik.org.uk/EastEurope/Costume/opinci.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julie & Graeme Wheeler" <jngwheeler@bigpond.com> To: <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 9:05 AM Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] Traditional Cornish Clogs > Hi John, > Not sure about Cornish clogs, but the Bal Maidens (surface female mine > workers in the 1800s) used to nail pieces of tin (called scoots) to the > soles of their boots to save wear and tear.

>From Wikipedia The wearing of clogs in Britain really took off with the Industrial Revolution, when workers in the mills, mines, iron, steel, and chemical works, workshops and factories needed strong, cheap footwear. The heyday of the clog in Britain was between 1840s and 1920s and, although traditionally associated with Lancashire, they were worn all over the country, not just in the industrial North of England.[2] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julie & Graeme Wheeler" <jngwheeler@bigpond.com> To: <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 9:05 AM Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] Traditional Cornish Clogs > Hi John, > Not sure about Cornish clogs, but the Bal Maidens (surface female mine > workers in the 1800s) used to nail pieces of tin (called scoots) to the > soles of their boots to save wear and tear.
