Hi,

I'm back and have been working on it.

I feel sure it is the correct family on 1901 and 1911, and I know that census are never very accurate BUT, I can't understand why on 1901 it clearly states that Gladys May is under 1 month old when she is obviously almost 2!!!

I cannot see how this mistake can have come about!

Any thoughts anyone??

Hi Lesley,

Yes the census are not too accurate and a 2 year age difference in an adult would not bother me in the slightest but the difference between a 2 year old and a child stated to be 'less than 1 month' is rather too precise for my liking - It really puzzles me !!

I will keep at is and see if I can find anything.
