On some censuses I have seen it as 9m, and one was 'under 1 month' which enabled me to tell his gt granddaughter that he was b in March 1851, when she asked, since the census was taken at the end of that month. Sure enough, when she looked at the title page of the family bible he had been given upon marriage, it gave his d.o.b. as 1 March 1851. |

They give the age as a fraction of the year so 1 month would be 1/12, 2 months 2/12, 3 months 3/12 etc. |
