Hi Lex. You're definitely looking in the right direction but maybe you should look at...

Strange that a google search on "names of biblical census takers" reveals only Quirinius. Being atheist, I felt guilty searching such a topic

Hi Denis
Quirinius was the Governor at the time but Caesar Augustus called for the census.
I'm pretty sure it's a matter of historical record as well as being part of the Christmas story!

Denis feeling guilty...?
As Emperor, Augustus would have ordered it but not actually carried it out: Quirinius was probably a civil servant involved in the process.

Hmmm... Knowing Denis I suspect this clue relates in some way to the previous one.
The only thing I can come up with is "COUNTING" but I can't see how to get the g at the end.
Add = count
one = i
and = n (as in Fish 'n Chips)
... second thoughts
unless it's a double definition?

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
