	Well, if an address is real it's printable! Those addresses are hilarious. I quite like Knackers Hole Lane in Dorset.

	Rather nice than this: 1901 Census of Canada Page Information District: ON ALGOMA (#44) Subdistrict: Rat Portage (Town/Ville) N(2)-1 Page 1 1 1 Carmichael John A M Head M Jun 13 1865 35 2 1 Carmichael Laviua F Wife M Mar 25 1868 33 3 1 Carmichael Sylva F Daughter S Jul 8 1900 1 4 1 Scofield Millie F Niece S Nov 28 1889 10 Actually, 5 y after the census they renamed the town as Kenora - they thought it would sound more appealing to prospective settlers.
