    3. Howdy.... >>We know from the 1851 census that Sarah SQUIRE (married name) was 47 which would put her birthdate between 1 Apr 1803 and 31 Mar 1804 so she could not have been chr. before 1803 (which rules out a Sarah KEMP of Brading Hampshire) and her birthplace is shown as Portsea (which also rules out a Sarah KEMP of Selborne). Keep in mind that the ages given in the census records (both UK and US) are the ages that the individuals gave to the census taker. It is not uncommon for a person to "age" only 8 years, or over 12 years, between censuses. Bob Young, Secretary Kemp Family Association
