Can anyone decipher this census return for me?
« on: Thursday 02 August 12 15:52 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Hope I have managed to attach it successfully!

Line 5 is the one I am stuck on - Mary Ann Richards,  Daughter. Am assuming she died but can't work out what is written in the age box - can anyone help?

Many thanks

oh, apologies, I'll try to work out how to only post a small snippet - does this work?

My guess would be 9 months.

Just ---Month
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Have you tried looking for birth or death registrations?

yes, can't find birth or death registration for 1910-11 or years close to those in Pembrokeshire. Must admit have not done extensive search but nothing came up when I did a quick one...was hoping to be able to make out what it said to get more definitive date!

Ref: Haverfordwest  11a  895.
