Is this a wind up?

Put this name in the person search Last Name Holst First Name Gustavus Click search. I just ended up with a loop, the counter continually counting down from 5, then repeating.

You would have to pay to view the household to enter the competition. This would mean the PRO could pay for the bl**dy camera a dozen times over!!! As if they don't get enough money out of us already. Do they think were daft! Let's get the answers posted on here and we'll get hundreds of people to enter FOR FREE!! That will serve them right

No 2 is an estimated guess (just read it again) I have rebooted my computer and everything is working again.

Patricia

I imagine the answer to number 2 would be a maximum of 1% of the poplulation in 1901, so if you can find out the population count in 1901 and work it out at less than 1%. Regards

That sounds a good percentage Pat. There couldn`t have been many around at that time.

if you look at census statistics on occupations there is no chance of it being higher than 1% the only thing is getting the stats for the 1901 census, find them and your laughing. Regards

As far as I can see, you don't have to pay to find out the 1st answer, just do a person search and it shows the occupation in the results. I only wish the 2nd answer was as easy to find! Rachel

You need to pay to get answers 4, 5 and 6. Well you dont now.
