Whats my age again!
« on: Thursday 14 August 08 11:35 BST (UK) »
Hiya all

I think this couple must be the contender for the most absent minded people going!

Whilst chasing a distant branch of my tree I found that Agnes Lawson married Abraham Randle in 1899 so in 1901 in Coventry we have

Abraham Randle M 64 c1837 b Foleshill Warwickshire retired watchmaker
Agnes Randle M 40 c1860 b Hazdor Worcs

RG13/2908 Folio 57 Page 9

I then decided to trace Abraham in the earlier censusso  in 1891 in Coventry we have

Abraham Randle M 56 c1835 b Foleshill retired grocer
Charlotte Randle M 66 c1825 b Coventry

RG12/2451 Folio 6 Page 7

In 1881 in Coventry

Abraham Randle M 60 c1821 b Coventry retired grocer
Charlotte Randle M 60 c1821 b Coventry

RG11/3069 Folio 78 Page 7

In 1871 in Coventry

Abraham Randle M 46 c1825 b Foleshill grocer
Charlotte Randle M 49 c1822 b Coventry

RG10/3177 Folio 115 Page 5

In 1861 in Coventry

Abraham Randle lodger 30 c1831 b Coventry watch finisher

RG9/2205 Folio 25 Page 8

In 1851 in Coventry

Abraham Randle lodger 18 c1833 b Northamptonshire hand loom weaver

HO107/2067 Folio 215 Page 34

In 1841 in Foleshill

Abraham Randle son 10 c 1831 b in county

HO107/154 Book 2

Abraham died 1904 Coventry age reported as 74 (c1830)

Charlotte died 1895 Coventry age reported as 77 (c1818)

Can anyone beat that for age variation!?
