Devon Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 census clarity
« on: Monday 20 October 25 11:02 BST (UK)  »
In 1841 the enumerator has actually followed the rules and all ages are rounded down, so Ann is aged anywhere between 15 and 19.

If she really was full age she would have to be born in 1824 or earlier.  In 1851 she is aged 30 and place of birth is Cruwys Morchard.

My 6xgreatGrandmother Elizabeth Keightley bap 1734 married Samuel Orring bap 1730 in Shepshed, Leics.....

There's also in the same register Elizabeth Keightley bap 1734 and Richd Potter bap 1732 married in 1757 in Shepshed, Leics.

Are you saying that their ages are given on those marriage records?

The Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954), Sat 8 Feb 1879

HUGO KING — CALL on Mr. Little, 74 Johnston-Street, Collingwood; letters and money from Cumberland.

This might have been an attempt to get his attention if he was still alive.

The Common Room / Re: Missing Wilkins kids
« on: Sunday 05 October 25 05:47 BST (UK)  »
If you just search for a Lillian R* with her date of birth there is one in Essex in 1939, possibly married firstly as WILKINS to Ernest REYNOLDS in 1922 and secondly to Joseph HENSHAW in 1940.  She is already recorded as HENSHAW in 1939 even though they had not yet married, so there is no change of surname notation.  You would need to see the marriage certs to confirm whether or not it is her.

US Lookup Requests / Re: One twin has been forgotten and is never spoken of...
« on: Friday 03 October 25 09:47 BST (UK)  »
There is only one BLUMBERG birth indexed anywhere near that date of birth and that is for the person who is still living.  Does he not have a copy of his own birth certificate which would record whether or not he was a twin?  The only way to get a birth cert from this time period would be to purchase it.

I can't see any likely deaths in the indexes either.
