1841 census Rattlesden NUNN
« on: Sunday 09 June 13 09:31 BST (UK) »
Might sks please lookup HO107 piece 1036 fol 8 p 9 and confirm the age of Elizabeth Nunn (who shares a household with William Nunn). On FindMyPast her age is transcribed as 78, but I'm not so sure it isn't in fact 73. Unfortunately, FindMyPast's image is very grainy. Is a******* or a CD of 1841 any clearer?
Also, I'd love to find the MI of Elizabeth Nunn bur Rattlesden St Nicholas 1844 age 80 and/or EN bur 1847 age 78. Can anyone help with this too, please?

99% sure she's 78 - image is good, just a penstroke across age, which doesnt really obscure that much and compares well with other digits '8' on the page ...

Correct Refn:-

HO107/Piece 1036 Book 16 Civil Parish Rattlesden Folio 9 Page 9; Line 15

Thanks for that, Lostris. Yes, I think I can now just about see on FindMyPast, under max res and with my nose to the screen, that the top half of the figure forms a complete circle. Pity. Her being 78 rather than 73 doesn't solve my present problem at all!
