Hiya, there is no connection to scotland. It has been mistranscribed. The original image shows Hungary quite clearly

One of my branches has the surname Littlejohns, you have to be inventive, so I just have little tricks of finding them in the census'. Which is probably why I do it so quickly. and speaking of the Florance. I managed to find them for that request as well LOL. The boy looks like Julius Name: Julius Ludwig Biernbaum Year of Registration: 1870 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Brighton County: Sussex, East Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 175 (click to see others on page)

Hiya, Yep Julius and Gulu would be the same people. They are just badly transcribed on Ancestry. If you do not have access to Ancestry, just send me a message with your e.mail address and I will e.mail u the images.
