On the census sheet filled in by the householder the family name might seem to be written ‘Halman’, as indeed it has been subsequently transcribed on the associated database accessible through Ancestry.com. However the cover sheet filled in by the census enumerator has Mr H Flatman written very clearly. The problem seems to lie in Mr Flatman’s handwriting which is very misleading.
