What's this Duster family you are all on about? I remember my parents talking about Red Duster - did he have left wing views or red hair? Or maybe it was short for Ethelred? After all, it would be a brave man who called a burly ship's mate Ethel !

Roger, that Red Duster must be a distant cousin to Yellow Duster...... Heather, you looked FANTASTIC.....good job about the soft focus lens though....... Doesn't Glen take of his tinsel when wearing a kilt? (thought I could see some of it in the photo? (Or was that NOT tinsel??) Merry

Was he bending over at the time? Yes, I did take a large pot of Vaseline (not for Glen I hasten to add) for the camera lens. (And if you look closely - aargh - you can see that Glen is actually holding threads up above my head to lift the jowels)

Victoria.....Please amend your post IMMEDIATELY!! We don't have any swearing on GR, you know.....Housew**k is a banned word....... I wonder if the brown envelope has reached Heather yet? I wonder what she will do with it? And Heather Positive Thinker - I didn't realise Glen was bending over...................... Merry

Nearly beat it, got 3 families of 11, and one of 13. (family including Horatio Bradbury in 1841)

Roger's probably used to scrubbing the decks, dusting the crow's nest etc... We could play bingo at our census night party - and then tell the enumerator that the numbers selected were in fact our ages!

I wonder if we would meet two fat ladies?

That's no thing to say about the enumerators!
