In the 1841 census, ages of adults were rounded down to the nearest 5 years. So someone who declared themselves to be 54 would be rounded down to 50. And many people lied about how old they were.

Some people didn't know how old they were.

Good day Lesley, I just rechecked this forum page -after some years..- and want to react.
I think your son-in-law is Lieven H.. right? If yes, you won't believe I "met" him a week ago on Geneanet. Let's find out..
