Hello All,

I'm just wondering if someone can confirm a census entry please as the original entry is written over lines on the page.

The family I'm looking for is Andrew Connelly (1844) Ireland and his wife Ellen (Ellanor) (1845) Whitehaven, Cumberland and their two children Agnes (1868) and James (1871). Both children were born in Whitehaven.

It appears to say that James is two days old but I'm struggling to read it. Can anyone confirm this for me please?

Thank you all for confirming that and finding them on the 1881 census. James is my great great grandfather.
