I have one ancestor whose origin was quite difficult to pin down, largely, I think, arising from age differences between herself & her husband which lead to an element of concealment of the marriage. I was originally working from the age calculated from the '41 census & her stated age at death (even then understated by two years - maybe she never told her husband the truth). In this case she died before the '51 census otherwise I'd have had another view of the date. Where an individual is a collateral & it's not currently worth trying to chase down a birth or baptism I have a few instances where I just have multiple estimates of birth based on different census records. Even when they agree they're multiple data points and, IMV, should be treated as such. -- Ian The Hotmail address is my spam-bin. Real mail address is iang at austonley org uk
