Could someone have a look at a census entry on the 1861 for me it is a John Bathe and his family in Highworth Wiltshire (RG9/1268), he was born in Highworth in abt 1822. He is withhis wife Ann and their children. Does it say Infant in the name box for their youngest child and what does it say in the 'age of' boxes? I'd be grateful if anyone can read it!! Julie

I think it says Infant.... ( he was a son) and the age is possibly 4wk......ie. 4 weeks? Gwyn
