Is this a record?

Searching for my illusive 3x Ggma .... I have, at last found her!

She is transcribed with the correct age of 87 as a Grandaughter :D

Should have made the next 2 generations a doddle to find ;)

Well, I finally found my lady, with a mistranscribed age of 51 and living with her daughter aged 54! She was 81 really.

I only found her because I was trawling looking for someone entirely different, therefore carefully reading every entry. Otherwise I doubt I would ever have found her - very common name.

Wonderful.

I've found some idiotic entries too (can't recall offhand, but ones where the father is only about 3 years older than the child).

I must admit, sometimes numbers can be hard to decipher and its not helped by habit of some enumerators in ticking off the ages with thick pen.

Nell, that might not be as silly as it sounds because stepchildren are often listed as son or daughter, and of course a stepfather could be only 3 years older than his stepchild.

Not quite the same, but it made me giggle, I was looking for James Wood, retired Captain in the Navy and his wife Elizabeth this afternoon. I found them after a bit of confusion transcribed as, Catherine James Wood, head, and Elizabeth, wife :D

She is transcribed with the correct age of 87 as a Grandaughter :D

Well she will have been someone's granddaughter. One just presumes that she wasn't granddaughter of the Head!
