I found this entry a couple of months ago whilst doing a look-up for a fellow GR member...although not the youngest, i just thought what the enumerator wrote was so sweet...... >>>Name: A Dear Litta Baby Age: 1 week Estimated birth year: abt 1871 Relation: Son Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Hackney, Middlesex, England Civil Parish: Hackney St John Ecclesiastical parish: West Hackney County/Island: London Country: England Source information: RG10/313 Registration district: Hackney Sub-registration district: West Hackney ED, institution, or vessel: 3a Folio: 70 Page: 41 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 232 GSU Number: 818892 Libby :))

Oh how sweet! Debby

makes you wonder if the enumerator was knocking on the door when these births were taking place! lol i am amazed. tina x

You have to remember that there were a lot more Home Births then, fascinating, the way they were recorded......( but didnt the family sometimes fill in their own forms?)and the enumerator collected them? Bob
