Know what you mean Ann, the other night I was calculating someone was 10 on the 1901 if born in 1881!! No wonder I couldnt find him. |

Anne No idea! In my experience, children under a year are described as 6M [for 6 months] etc. Have you tried looking for a birth record to see how old this child really was? Could it be a mistranscription of something else? Children are often listed in order of age so what is the age above/below her? nell |

That would be 3 months! Cant say Ive ever seen it like that usually its either written out or as 3/12. Seems a bit too "metric" for those days? |

I have a census record (not image) for 1851 - the youngest child is listed as age 0.25 - does this mean the child is 4 months old ie. a quarter of a year?? Thanks - Anne |
