It does mean four months. On some censuses it is recorded as months.12 (so yours would be 4.12) instead, but the 1901 uses m. -Kat

thanks everyone for the info, i will change that now to born 1901. I am getting frustrated. have searched the 1881,1891 and 1901 and can only find this family listed in the 1901 census. It is especially annoying as the 1901 has a treasure of info. my great grandparents living together with 2 of their children. her mum living there as well who is widow and two of her children.

Hi There If she was 4 months old, she would have been born 1900 as the census is normally taken in March - at least i thnk it is Kay
