“Panty boy”, “Alien apprentice” and “Penis tuner” in the Irish Census

They were in the census that is until John Grenham correct the entries, along with “Publican and Flasher” which became Publican and Flesher.
So while spoilsport Grenham deprives us of the joy of such transcription discoveries his work over the past 18 months on 90,000 emails (88% of the total) with almost a quarter of a million suggestions, 95,000 correct, 80,000 duplicate and 40,000 inaccurate leaves a more accurate transcription.
Read his blog post on the work.
The corrected transcription versions are at www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
