Yep, might be pretty obvious to some of you experts!, but what does being "Born at Sea - India" mean?

Hi Chris

It could mean that they were born at sea outward bound for India  ???  Have you got the birth cert or does the info come from another source?

Hi

Just a quick note "Born at Sea - India" could also mean the name of the Ship was called "India". 

What record are you getting the informatio from? 

regards

Hi,

I'm getting this information from the census of 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1881 - so no changes throughout the decades!  The lady in question was born c1818 so I'm unable to get any further information at this moment.  ???
