P-lease be very careful, my friend Lemon. People can be given warnings for posting on the wrong board.

Thanks Budgie...not boring...but it worked out neater the other way....oh dear......on top of all that my 141 year old G Grandad wont die...so I have a headache....lol :-( XX

Oh Elaine have mercy or I shall never dare go back to records lol XXX Thanks Joy thanks. XXX Anna.....aha...I forgot about the rounding up of ages on 1841....now that makes it look a lot better thanks XXX

Don't forget on 1841 they rounded up the ages of adults. This is confusing being on the wrong board! ;-)

Thanks Tina someone said 1857 never gave ages. I only have her twice...once on 1841 census alone, then 1851 with her daugter and family, with 10 yrs difference in age. So I am trying to verify the 1841 is the same person which looks likely, except for the age difference which may have been a mistake on 1841. If it is difficult please don't take too much time, as I go there next week and may get more luck in their records. Thanks love XX

Age not given as early as 1857. Land of haven in Land of Yips, where I often reside. :-)

How much Lemon .... to keep my mouth shut about this query .... and NOT shout it out on RO ! ?? Elaine ;-) ps. The answer isn't obvious babe ! .... they only started including age at death in a certain year ( which I don't know !!) .... and then they started adding the year of birth as an added extra sometime in the 1900's (think it was after 1950 - but again 'don't know'......... so you shouldn't feel like such a dip stick !! How much is it worth for me NOT to say anything ???? ;-)

Still trying - don't like being beaten! Has she a husband etc.?

Bob now you know why I don't offer my services transcribing....oh wwhat confusion I would cause lol XX

LOL...... and WE criticise the ancient scribes for mistranscibing and enumerators for not listening proper!!! Bob Still s'pose they ARE young and have time to mend their ways!!

Budgie...go away....go on scat.....shoooo....ROFL XX

ooooh Budgie so I did...can't even call myself a dip stick and spell it right ROFL XXX

Thanks Mandy, will just need to dig deeper as a manner of speaking when I go down .....spade at the ready XX

Just looked in my file and found the following: 1866: Death indexes recorded age at death 1969: Death indexes showed date of birth Hope this helps. Mandy :)

Thanks Tina .......... and thanks all who pm me....if it is possible that will surely find her...so thanks XXX As for you fainters...doubters and mockers....even Lemons have trees ...fuff....but if I don't get her you cheered me up XXX

I've looked on Ancestry at the 1857 one - no age given there either :O((

Mary Simpson 6a 491 Wellington, unfortunately they didn't oblige in 1857. I'll look elsewhere

Give me some time as this 1837 site is mega slow.

Tina...it is a Mary Simpson, she died between 1851 and 1861.....I have a likely looking candidate in June 1857, but it was really her age at death as the two census have 10 year gap in her age. She would have been registered in Wellington Shropshire. Thankyou XX

Have pm'd you . Sue
