Girls!

christened.....08 DEC 1837
so.....08 DEC 1838 she is 1yr
  .......08 DEC 1839 she is 2yrs.
.........08 DEC 1840 she is 3yrs
.........08 DEC 1841 she is 4yrs.
but, the census was way before december, so she was 3yrs old..........
do you see my point, you can't just subtract, you have to think, are they still to have a birthday in the year of question, which would take you back to a previous year.
sorry for being so insistant.

Hi Jo 

No problem about being strict - the only way we newbies will learn !!  Its people like you who set us straight before we get too far and then have to back track or go up the wrong road.
