Genealogy friends... Can you show me any 19th century handwriting examples where a known name/word is written with too many letters? ie the author seemed to get confused doing the up and down strokes when connecting letters? Or writing so stylised it's easy to misunderstand?

Here's my rendition of the delightful @ManningOfficial as Jo in #DoctorWho and The Planet of the Daleks. This was a joy to paint, I hope I did her justice (and the jacket 😅) Acrylics on book page. I'll be doing prints, just DM me if interested. RTs and likes appreciated! 😍

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

We’re trying to get my friend’s YouTube channel over the magic 1,000 subscriber mark. 🙏🏻 Please could you subscribe? You don’t have to ever watch any of his videos! 😅

I’d be deeply grateful for even the smallest donation to help get treatment for my friend’s niece. Elaine just reached the summit of Snowdon for this amazing cause! 🙏🏻🏔💔
RT’s greatly appreciated too.

[Gav Rymill 🤖 @themindrobber]

Sorry, I’m begging again. My dear friend Elaine, whose voice you may know from Terry Nation Army, is climbing Snowdon - hardest route RIGHT NOW! 🏔😰 In support of her niece who only has months to live, unless something can be funded. Any amount helps 🙏🏻. https://t.co/rG3A16hYpr

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@SaffronKim Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. ❤️ sending love.

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@effandsteph @clearwriter @rococopacetic We could all zoom chat?!

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@clearwriter @rococopacetic @effandsteph I hope this means he’s watched the hours of Dalek videos. 😬

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@rococopacetic @effandsteph @clearwriter I just spend my whole life repeating my failures and embarrassing faux pas in my head.

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@bexxi @themindrobber @2hrTV That’s a great shout. I did wonder about it being a transcription error on the part of enumerator.

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@bexxi Yeah. I can understand the logic and I’m halfway there but “Nourish” is just such a strange term. It would normally be “nurse child”. Odd.

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

Okay genealogy peeps, there’s a puzzler here. What’s this relationship to head of household? It looks like “Nourish” but surely not? Cant find any other comparable entry. Very strange.

[CharlesWynfordLodge @2hrTV]

Doing some family research and came across this entry in the 1871 census. Anyone know what the word next to William Lloyd is? It's transcribed as 'Nourish'!

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@teacherpauluk We doing that?

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

@colmanian I wondered about that. The term “hole” seems associated with quarries but none are in the location at the time that name is used. Unless they were much earlier? Or a local humorous anecdote passed down? Potholes before the Turnpike maybe?

[Gavin R. @gavmr]

Help! Do any learned twitter people have any insight into the origin of the term “Jack in the Hole” in any kind of geographic or folk-history sense? English location, 18th century or earlier. Farming? Nickname? Punishment? 🤷🏻‍♂️ pls RT 🙏🏻
