Has anyone ever come across Urram as a girl's first name. I thought this was a mistranscription on the 1871 census (Urram Elizabeth Shelton b1863 Birmingham) as the writing was not very clear, so I checked births on FreeBMD and there it was, and again on the 1881 census written very clearly! |

Yes, this was the census where it's written so clearly, it had to be that. |
