Charlie,

What do you mean by some of the ages don't tie up?

searle Report 20 Apr 2011 13:47

Well what I mean by ages don't tie up is Eva Eliza Back was born in 1881 per that census where it shows her at the age of 3 months, on her marriage certificate which I have a copy in 1905 aged 27 thats makes her born 1878 her mother and father were married in 1880

Flick

Flick Report 20 Apr 2011 15:24

Eva was born in late 1883

1901 and 1911 censuses above confirm that,

Which census are you looking at showing her as 3 months old?

I'm sure if you double-check her marriage cert you'll find that she was 21 when she married

Charles's occupation in 1901 was Chair maker....he was born in Bradninch, Devon

One must assume that his age (32) is incorrect

Charles jnr and Harry were born in Scotland
