Guess The Victorian Family

Baby Name Games
1

Here is a game I invented on another board and wondered if you’d all like to play.

I basically select a family from a British census and give you the dates, sexes and names (in a random order) and you have to put the names, first and middle, in the correct place.

I award 5 points for a correct fn/mn combo, 2 points for every fn or mn correctly identified, 2 points for a back-to-front combo (i.e. [name]John[/name] [name]Henry[/name] instead of [name]Henry[/name] [name]John[/name]) and 1 point for every name in the correct place.

The winner will be the person with the most points :slight_smile:

You did really well! I’ll post the answers and scores in a separate post in a day or two so that any other players won’t get thrown by other people’s score :wink:
