Alfred George Colthup had his birth registered in Sep qtr 1898 ref Braintree 4a 738. But on the admissions schedule for both his first and second schools his dob is given as 31.10.1898. His sister Doris Rosa was registered in Sep qtr 1899 Braintree 4a 753 but on two school admissions her dob is given as 27.10.1899. (Both children had their Christian names reversed at school but there is little doubt that they are the same people).
Now one of them might be some sort of simple error but both is too much of a coincidence. Is it possible that the parents falsified the dobs because the children should have started school a year earlier?
Or any other ideas?
