Hi can anyone please try to help with an age of a child on the 1881
census, the child is a Stephen Wragg, his mother is Harriett Wragg born c1862, they live in bradfield, Yorkshire,with Harriett's parents Charles & Mary. the LDS site has him aged 6 months although after looking at the actual census entry on ancestry i'm not sure that's what it says. on 1901 census he's 20 so 6 months would fit but would like to know what actual image says,

regards

Martin

Looks like 6 mos to me. If so, I guess this could be the birth cert - I dont know the areas: NB Just looked on freebmd and Wortley does indeed cover Bradfield.

Name: Stephen Wragg
Year of Registration: 1880
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Wortley (1837-1974)
County: Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 280

Looked to me after looking at his grandparents that it was a 6 but then looks like (uw) so wasn't sure.

You can use the magnifier on the top of the census image.
