Names on census (General)

Take it all with a grain of salt if a name is wrong in the census but the data otherwise fits. In 1891, my ten year old grandfather is listed not as Charles or Charlie, but as George, his middle name. There are no other references to him as George, and I don't know that he was ever called George then, either. His sister, Elizabeth Ann is listed as "Bessie", (I knew her as Bess) so looking for Charles and Elizabeth they were difficult to find. (Slowhands managed it anyway!)
