Ok sorted

If you look at the origanal it says he is 31 not 3 brother hairdressers assistant

Name: Thomas Shirmnell
Age: 3
Estimated birth year: abt 1898
Relation: Brother
Gender: Male
Where born: Plumstead, Kent, England

Civil Parish: St George Hanover Square
Ecclesiastical parish: St Gabriel Warwick Square
County/Island: London
Country: England

.Frederick Shirmmell 42
Caroline A Shirmmell 28
Frederick H Shirmmell 23
Thomas Shirmnell 19
Ethel Shirmnell 7
Caroline C M Shirmnell 3
William A Shirmnell 2
Beatrice M Shirmnell 1
Thomas Shirmnell 3

As you can see they always put the kids ages in desending order so Thomas being 3 does not look right anyway

You may do better in sending an email to genes, I would be surprised if they see this message.
I do not subscribe to the records on here but I put my name in and the details came up except for mothers maiden name which I would have to pay for to see that.

Not very impressed with the constant error message that come up on the New birth records search on front page....

I started with just my surname, er no, full name erm sorry still no, did the full detailed discription guess what you got it error message.

please please fix this issue.

Kindest Regards

P.S. I know it sounds like a tv series grumpy old men but come on.
