Thank you for all the information. I may have to assume that his age is incorrect on census forms

Mike * Report 7 Feb 2013 18:27

1871 census has him being 38 .
1881 census has him being 32


Obviously not good at maths ... not when his son is 23 on 1881 census !

The age differences is where I got confused. Was it normal for people to lie about their ages or was it maybe just recorded wrong?
