How old ??

[LeicestershireLass]

According to Ancestry transcription Susannah Wakefield is 14 years old in 1851 ... her parents are both 27!

I've looked at the image and whilst it doesn't look like 14 I can't make out what it is ... can anyone decipher it please ?

Susannah Wakefield

I reckon it should be months not years and this is maybe her ??

I curse it Val .... but glad it's still with me!

OK .. are you ready for the next mystery?

1871 census .... Elizth Wakefield is a widow with various children including Elizabeth daughter aged 3 .. I've looked on BMD and there are 2 Elizabeths registered born Coventry, one in 1862 and the other in 1869 .. presumably she's the latter one .....

however .. looking on BMD I find that Saml Wakefield died Coventry 1864 ????

Sooooooooo ......... who is Elizabeth's (aged 3) father ?

On the following census the daughter is called Jane E Wakefield aged 13, so this may actually be her:

Births Jun 1867
Wakefield Jane Elizabeth Coventry 6d 444

As for who her dad is........??!!! lol
