Can anyone tell me what this means on a census. I'll type it as it appears under the Where Born section. It's for the children. Overseas- British- Chili Brit Subj It looks like British subject child born overseas. Trouble I really don't think they went anywhere. Thanks. |

The father I think was in some sort of seafaring. Could have been navy. The census is Cornwall 1861. The head of household is Mary Murley. It is the children I'm interested in. They are Eliza, Catherine, Jane, Gregory, Josiah RUBY. I think Mary Murley may have been Mary Ruby before marriage. Thanks. |

Thanks Jeanette, The one I looked at was on FreeCen and it had the Ruby Childrens ages not year of birth and had Overseas as well on the where born. I'll try and find their births. This is a strange family(could answer a few questions about the present day one as well). They seem to pop up all over the place. |
