They were all probably upping their ages as the pension had just come out.

Wow Dathai. Thank you. That news is fantastic. I remember my granny telling us how she signed for her Uncle Patrick. Would it be fair to assume that the children's ages are more or less correct?

Thank you Hallmark. I feel a bit more comfortable with my confusion now. I felt it was hard to get things sorted. Is there a method to use when trying to ascertain ages and dob's ? I suppose there are only best guesses and unknowns sometimes.

No method... remember a lot couldn't read/write so didn't know how old they were, plus many didn't trust the authorities and didn't give accurate information, even dates on g/stones can be wrong

Barney Mc Conway and Katie Wilson were my great great grandparents. They had at least 9 children born roughly between 1841 and 1862, the first 6 estimated date of birth, last 3 confirmed on Moville Parish records http://registers.nli.ie/parishes?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Moville+%28Diocese+of+Derry%29
These records also confirms Katie Wilsons name.
