Rose you are right about the ages in 1901, my great grandfather was born in 1865 but on the 1901 it shows his birth as 1857, so anyone looking for rellies make sure you leave at least a 10 year age range . Georgina.

Just noticed the birth year is 10 years off in 1901. For instance, someone who is 15 is shown as being born 1876. I assume the age is correct but the year of birth calculation is off. Rose
