Can anyone decipher this census return for me?
« on: Thursday 02 August 12 15:52 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Hope I have managed to attach it successfully!

Line 5 is the one I am stuck on - Mary Ann Richards,  Daughter. Am assuming she died but can't work out what is written in the age box - can anyone help?

Many thanks

My guess would be 9 months.

Have you tried looking for birth or death registrations?

yes, can't find birth or death registration for 1910-11 or years close to those in Pembrokeshire. Must admit have not done extensive search but nothing came up when I did a quick one...was hoping to be able to make out what it said to get more definitive date!

There's a death of a Mary Ann Richards in March quarter 1908, aged 1 year, in Haverfordwest.

Ref: Haverfordwest  11a  895.
