This is a funny example that I saw once on exhibition at the Family Records Centre in London, unfortunately it covers two pages of the census. It seems that these parents had their twin children during the May Bank Holiday. Interestingly, this census is from 1881, just 10 years after the 1871 Act was brought in to establish the UK Bank Holidays.
