Hi Charani, thanks for the reply. Do you have a link to your site? If it is ok with you I'd like to use it to check any queries I have with surnames.

It's not online at the moment, but give me a shout with any queries you have and I can tell you what it should be - providing I could read it myself!! There are a handful of names on all the censuses that I couldn't read. Usually they are people who moved into the village rather than being long term residents. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Yes please Charani, In Enumeration District 15 Pg 10 folio 23 Living with Richard and Hannah Dyer is a Richard ? Farmer born in Somerset Could you work out his surname, it looks like Liry, but that doesn't seem right. After transcribing all the rest of Hundred of Whitley, that spelling hasn't come up once.
