	Censuses do not give DOB - only age, from which year of birth is estimated

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,504 Send Message	For info, so we have some idea of where to look. You won't find an exact DOB on any census - just a year of birth and this is often out. Census 1861, age 10 == b 1851, but as census was taken early part of the year, has more chance of actually being born 1850 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription Nelson Street, Snenton, Radford, Nottinghamshire, England First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place Frank Potter Head Married Male - - Lace Maker Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Elizabeth Potter Wife Married Female 28 1833 Needle Woman Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, England Richard Potter Son Unmarried Male 10 1851 Threader Cannington, Somerset, England Elizabeth Potter Daughter Unmarried Female 4 1857 - Cannington, Somerset, England John Potter Son Unmarried Male 2 1859 - Cannington, Somerset, England Hannah Potter Daughter - Female 0 1861 - Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, England Martha Potter Daughter Widow Female 30 1831 Lace Mender Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, England Fanny Potter Daughter Unmarried Female 8 1853 - Carrington Arthur Potter Son - Male 4 1857 - Carrington Sarah Ann Potter Daughter - Female 1 1860 - Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, England ** Have tick on FMP to show have looked up record before??

	I am trying to trace Fanny Potters parents - I have found her with her exact DOB on 2 census but I can't make head or tail of the parents - or even if they are the same family. Census 1861 Head – Frank Potter – no year of birth but age looks to be around 40 Elizabeth Potter - Wife - 1833 Martha Potter – 1831 daughter - widow Arthur Potter – 1857 son Fanny Potter – 1853 daughter Hannah Potter – 1861 daughter John Potter – 1859 son Richard Potter – 1851 son Sarah Ann Potter – 1861 daughter Census 1871 Head - William Potter – 1819 Martha Potter – 1831 Wife Fanny Potter – 1853 daughter John Potter – 1871 – son of daughter Mary Jane Potter – 1862 daughter Sarah Potter – 1861 daughter William Potter – 1852 son thanks in advance
