Here's a cartoon of the footballing cousin I mentioned yesterday, from the Sports Argus on 23 Feb 1907.

I've also transcribed a long article about his career: https://familytree.thomaspreece.net/public/evt/1/b/f74da5c0dfb1fc04f74c6b8e4b1.html

Been researching some distant cousins again today. The occupations on the censuses are predictable as always: coal miner, coal miner, coal miner, coal miner, professional footballer for Manchester City, coal miner, coal miner... #genealogy #geneadons #FamilyHistory @genealogy @geneadons

What's the largest number of people with identical names you've ever come across in one household?

I've just found a census record in which Margaret Rankin is living with her husband, her sister-in-law Margaret Rankin and several children, including another Margaret Rankin. It must've been a confusing household!
