Hi Julia and Trica, Many thanks for information. Whilst I take your point about John and Colin looking similar in 'old' handwriting, in the 1861 census Colin is as clear a day. Absolutely no chance of any misinterpretation. Can only think that the enumerator must have been on the pop (or something stronger) when he recorded this entry. The handwriting for this part of the census just happens to be one of the clearest pages out of all the many census pages that I have transcribed. Regards, Ian

Too bad...thought that might be an easy solution to the problem...
