Hi Julia and Annette. I spent quite a lot of this weekend looking at Priscilla but didn't get anywhere. Marriage to George Thompson in 1869 states her age as 18; in 1871 census she is aged 20; in 1881 census she is 31, in 1891 census she is 41. I can't find any other family in 1901 census - have you had any luck? In 1894 (marriage to Thomas Davis) she is aged 40. In 1911 census she is aged 60; on 1939 census her date of birth is 25 July 1863, which would make her 76 years, but means that she was 6 years old when she first got married!!! Her death certificate states 78 years. A puzzler.
I've found quite a lot of interesting info on the Gaffney side if you are interested.
Regards
Tonia
