Ages can often be a year out - because they have not yet had their birthday at time of census.
The image definitely says 6 - perhaps the Father just forgot, not that unusual, just strange.

Do you know when the other 2 children were born - maybe they mixed their ages up!

Bit of a puzzler Terry!, notes he had put Single, then crossed through and Married written above on 1911 image.

The record above is from Freebmd - if you haven't used this site you will find it very useful.

I was just checking for possible births of an Alma Blanche in case she was born with a different surname.

I think girls could marry earlier back then - 12 or 14?
