	In the 1841 census ages were rounded to an even number, hence she is listed s 20 but she could have been older Her baptisim was 1818, she could have been born before that Youre right to get certificates, where available

	Note: In the 1841 Census a policy of rounding down ages was in place. As such, people aged: 15-19 were recorded as 15 20-24 were recorded as 20 25-29 were recorded as 25 30-34 were recorded as 30 35-39 were recorded as 35...and so on
