Hi Jan,

My comment re: "dresses for boys"... was somewhat tongue in cheek... ;D

Thanks for all the helpful replies ;)

That birth cert came as a bit of a shock!!

Best Wishes, Romilly.

Hi all

Boys were commonly photographed in dresses in the late 1800's and probably up to age 5.

My birth cert problem was my dad had registered my mothers wrong maiden name which only came to light when I was 16 and he had to go and take an oath before a JP at there house and swear that he was the father of me!

For ages I couldn't work out why I was unable to find my great-aunt Enid in the 1901 Census on line.  I always put in the gender option - but it was only when I accidentally put her in as "male" that I found her.  Not sure whether it was what she was wearing, or that the forename Enid was not a common girl's name then - probably just another clerical error...
