  • Help with handwritting

    Could someone tell me where Alice Farrell was born in this 1881 census record.

    It should be Gloucestershire based on the 1871 records - but I can't read the 81 record.

    - Ancestry.co.uk

    Also the attached marriage record - what are the ages recorded for them? - as to me it looks like they have recorded some words insted.

    Also what is his profession?

    Thanks for your help.

        Alice was born in Uley - definitely a Glos village.

          I guess it depends how the question of age was asked..

          they couldve asked, are you over 21? in which case the answer would be yes, so they entered 'full' for Thomas, and as Alice was not 21 she would be considered a 'minor'
