1881 census
« on: Friday 17 April 15 20:38 BST (UK) »
Hi all, does any body have any idea what this small word or abbreviation is after the age of Lizzie Clayton on this clip of 1881 census, it is 7 and a squigell. i have browsed on through these pages and she is not the only one with this after the age but its still not any clearer.

Kind Regards, Graham Martin.

I' d have also said months as I've seen that sort of thing on some of mine. If you have a look at some near entries on the same census, you might see it occurring again.

I feel sorry for the entry above Lizzie too - it says ' deserted child '  :(

I would also say months. To confirm have a look at the next census and see if she is aged about 10, then you can conclude that she was under a year old on this one.

ok thanks, its just that if it was my Lizzie she would be 7 years old, and do you know what her description of "NURSE CHILD" is, the on above is deserted child.

Hi,

If you look at the link below it will explain about a 'nurse child'
