Here she is mistranscribed as Vasleh

You’d think you couldn’t lose anyone with a name so unusual but that’s two mistranscriptions from what you thought in the censuses, yet she was actually registered as Yashti.

[Lin Fisher]

I think sometimes the more unusual names are the hardest to find mainly due to mis-transcriptions.

Well done

[Olde Crone Holden]

I know the name Vashti, so Yashti is probably a mistranscription too! (Vashti is often a Romany name).

That’s from the GRO online index. I wonder if the actual cert got it right, poor lassie

[Macbev]

Vashti was the wife of King Ahasuerus (king of Persia) and put aside by him for refusing to appear in front of his mates at a banquet. She was succeeded by Esther.

You have just spurred me on and I have been adding to my family tree. I have a first cousin twice removed named Vastina and I only had her in 1901. I went to see what else I could find and have found her marriage, death, gravestone and several children....so thank you for giving me the push I think they were a Romany family as the main occupation of the men appears to be horse trader and her mother's father was a chair bottomer who travelled around.

Thank you everyone - I wondered why I couldn't see her on the GRO index either! Some of this line were travellers so doesn't surprise me that there are several romany names mixed in It's what I love about reserching my large family tree
