Thanks everyone, It has really confused me!
I will go with 1890..I have sent for certificate firstly Birmingham, then told to try Sandwell..its taking Ages!..People on here have been very kind, but for some niggly reason, I think I have got the wrong info..I didnt have any of his family history, he died when my dad was 5 in 1927 in All Saints Lunatic Asylum, only got death cert a few years ago, which showed a brother in law registering death and the address that man lived at,researched and this showed the mans wife Mary Ann, got wedding cert showed her dad was Samuel smith, that is all I had to go on..then people on here have looked at census that showed an Alf with with an older sister called Mary Ann Smith... so I hope the birth cert will open up alot of information.
Thanks for your help

Again with the death cert. They would have been 37 in September 1927 so 1890 birth.

10 in 1901 would then make sense as they would have been 11 in the September of 1901. Again, pointing back to Sep 1890.

If they were 6 months old in 1891 census then they would have been born about Sep 1890.

Hello
If someone was 6 months old in the 1891 census when would they have been born? the address in 1891 Cherrywood Road.
In the 1901 census they were 10
and on death certificate they were 36 in July 1927.
I am still not sure if its 1890/91/92.
Thanks
Bernie
