Hi Sylvia & Jax,
This is the family, 1841 census is them, I'm not sure where the middle M. came from, think it was a difficult read off a fiche at the research centre,
Occupation as Cordwainer (shoemaker) is definitely correct also lower westwick street address.
Didn't know about the rounding down,
Therefore you are saying i should research from 1782?
Mike.

Hi Mike


yes, you need to consider that one or both of them might have been born as early as 1782, and possibly as late as 1786/87


Just incidentally, I never search only on one year no matter where I am looking

...... I always search at least birth year +/- 2 years, and usually do +/- 5 years.
