Hi One-Namers everywhere Apologies for this morning's mail - I must be blind! Or not awake. Perhaps I should go back to bed - Thanks to Maria for pointing it out so patiently. Let this be a warning to us all - if it seems odd it maybe odd or maybe one needs another strong black coffee - Before putting pen to paper, first put the brain in gear.

So how come a child born and died in 1937 is listed as 50 unless perhaps he lived for 50 days and how did he appear in the 1939 register 2 years later? Makes you very wary.
