    1. [WAR] age discrepancy
    2. Robert Holmes
    3. I have just paid out £45 for a copy of the 1911 census and very useful it is too. However,it is difficult to explain away certain age discrepancies: In 1911 ,grandfather is 31 and grandmother is 29 . When they married in 1914-just before he volunteered for the army- the stated ages are 30 and 24! While both could write, was their arithmetic so awful or memory so bad. As she had already declared her real? age in 1911 was their any point in concealment at the marriage. bob holmes
