Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 336 Send Message	Pallots MI dated 1834, but I believe the census is wrong, am still searching and have found 1861 census with birthdates 10 yrs earlier, so this sounds far more likely! Thanks all for the continued help! Sarah

	Census ages are notoriously unreliable, the older they get the slower they age. Where is the certificate from, as civil registration didn't start until 1837? Check on 1841 census if possible.
	Researching: Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)
