1871 census - help with transcription
« on: Saturday 25 May 24 16:11 BST (UK) »
Hoping someone can tell me what this word says.  It's a snip from the 1871 census for the Brown family.  The snip is taken from the last column (under Deaf & Dumb, Blind etc)

Perhaps - Rupture, birth  :-\ :-\
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Yep, rupture, birth.  Sounds painful!

Thank you - what a strange thing to write though.  He's also 4yrs old on this census; can't find anything on subsequent census.  His brother entered an asylum so I was wondering if it could be a medical condition - very odd.  Thank you both very much,
