Anthony Abson b 1785 Wakefiedl- birth record

[firefox1960]

Anthony looks to have been born about 1785 according to the 1851 census.
I have found an entry for a Anthony Abson at odds with the census - but it looks to fit.
Name:  Anthony Abson
Mother:  Ruth Abson
Father:  Anthony Abson
Baptism:  27 Mar 1780 - Wakefield, All Saints
Vital:  27 Mar 1780 - Wakefield, All Saints, Yorkshire, England
I wonder if he did tell a bit of a fib about his age.
Any thoughts on this ?
Kindest regards Brian.

Hi
Thanks for the reply, and info on the on line tree.
I now have the detail you quote, but seem to think that he was economical with the truth regarding the 1785 birth year on the 1851 census.
Thanks so much - kindest regards Brian.

Hiya Brian
I tend to take ages on the census as just a rough guide
Mine vary hugely in some lines iv researched .
Good luck
