Joseph,

We were just looking to see if it had been recorded differently in the records.

Rest of family have normal names.

I was hoping Matilda might be Mallika, or somesuch, but No.

These show from a quick general search on ancestry:

1881 England Census
Name: Plantsena Flint
Birth: abt 1876 - Rainow, Cheshire, England
Residence: 1881 - Bollington, Cheshire, England

1861 England Census

Birth: abt 1859 - Mowcop, Staffordshire, England
Residence: 1861 - Brieryhurst, Staffordshire, England

1870 United States Federal Census

Just put Plan* into free bmd to see what you can find.....

Just 2 with that exact spelling on Freebmd.
It's really rare isn't it - I too wonder what its origin is?

Births Dec 1861 (>99%)

I think 'the various forms with c, s, t, e, i, are all from the same source, just the spelling at variance.

Thanks to all.

Joseph

interesting that one of the posters on that link given by patchem also had Planceana ...............

I have a gt-grandma withe the most unusual name of Planceana.

I have a cencus transcription of her name as Plant Suna, another as Pluntcena and yet another record she is Placena.

Gt-granny is named for her fathers sister Planceana - I found her name mis-transcribed as Ploughcena!
(I would LOVE to know where the name Planceana comes from by the way!

I wonder if it is a version of Plancina?


Plancina, Munatia

Born: unknown Died: 33 CE
Occupation: wife of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso
From: A to Z of Ancient Greek and Roman Women, Revised Edition. A to Z of Women.

Munatia Plancina was the aristocratic, wealthy, arrogant daughter or possibly granddaughter of Lucius Munatius Plancus, consul in 42 BCE and censor in 22.

Could she have been named after Munatia Plancina? the wife of the governor of Syria, Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso
