I am looking for a relative who was 6 months old on the 1891 census records and have found a few birth entries which may be him but I need to know what month it was taken. Also, if the record states 6 months old would that mean he was that old or if he was maybe 3 months old would they just round it up to half a year. Thanks in advance. Jo. |

In theory, the child would be born 6 Sept - 5 October, but you could probably allow an extra month's leeway either side. |
