	Some of the questions I wish they had asked Have you had children with your wife's sisters but put put them all down on their birth certificates as belonging to your wife when 2 of them were born a couple of months apart and in 2 areas ? Have you a "wife " in every port or just some of them ? Will you in the future change your name making it impossible to find your death in any country ? and thank you for filling the census in to show your future generations who we are made of.

	Taken from The Penny Illustrated April 6th 1901 Womens Section One would like to know why so many useless questions were asked and so many would be usefully left out .I cannot see for instance what difference it makes as whether one is a visitor or boarder in a house ,or whether one works for one's own living or lives on private means. And as a woman I naturally sympathise with the ladies who consider themselves the real head of the household.
