Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	You say all 3 census give consistent ages for the children and in 1861 Joshua's age was 5 with a birth year shown as 1856 - but he was actually born in 1855 Census and ages - take a census date of midnight 1 April 1861 eg. 1861 - anyone aged 5 at census time would be shown as born 1856 (1861-5 = 1856), but in reality ¾ are more likely to have been born in 1855. Anyone born 2 April 1855 to 1 April 1856 would be 5 on 1 April 1861 And then there's getting the age wrong in the first place.
