	Mel The ages of people over the age of 15 on the 1841 Census are usually rounded DOWN to the nearest 5 Some enumerators did not do that, ju7st to confuse matters ............. but you can usually tell if all ages 15 and above end in either 0 or 5. This means that a person who is shown as 15 on the 1841 is actually between the ages of 15 and 19. Put another way ............... someone who is 15 on that census could have been born between 1822 and 1826.
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

	Thing is on the 1841 census they rounded the childrens ages up to the nearest 5 years. Thats why you get what you think at first is twins. My great gran on the 1841 census has three children all the same age. As you can see from both baptisms they were definately two people born two years apart.

They had a few children not sure how many but in the 1841 census they had Speechley Brittain 15 << James "" 15 << Robert 10 Joseph 10 Harriot 7 Benjamin 5 I have seen a Marriage for a Speechley John and censuses 51/61 for him My problem is I can't find a birth for Speechley or James someone has got them as the same person? and living in Australia and dying there but every thing is down as James Can anyone find anything out to prove if it is one or two people ?? They were born in Leverington Cambridgeshire
