1841 Anglesey Census, rounding up or down ages.
« on: Monday 13 January 14 12:23 GMT (UK) »
Does anybody have any ideas about the rounding up or down ages.
It seems on Anglesey census 1841 all adults have ages of 20,25,30,35 etc?

 :) Hi the 1841 was the only census where a system of "Rounding" was applied, not just in Anglesey!

15 to 19 = 15
20 to 24 = 20
25 to 29 = 25
30 to 34 = 30
35 to 39 = 35
And so on, although this was not always carried out by enumerators?
