    2. >Mary Nicholson/Wright/Jackson/Elliott "pure as the driven snow" Assuming she informed the 1841 census enumerator that she was 39 yrs of age and he followed instructions and rounded her age down to 35, Mary must also have been "smarter than the average" ! On every census up to her last one ?.. 1881, she is recorded as the "same" age.. i.e. born 1802 . Assuming that that is her death registration at Sunderland RD in 4th Qtr of 1882 , aged 82, Thomas, her youngest , was not as accurate with her age. ? Michael Dixon
