	You can't even rely on headstones having the correct information. On one of my grandmothers headstones it says she died age 44 - she was 42. On my other grandmother's headstone it says she died 21st June - she died 4th June. I have both birth certificates and both death certificates. Even certificates can't always be relied on. The first of the grandmothers above added 5 years to her age when she married (there was a 19 year age difference between her and her husband). I don't think he ever knew her true age - hence the wrong age on her headstone! Kath. x

	I think there's another thread about this woman - rings bells for me. Clearly two families in the household in 1861 Martha can't possible be Frank's daughter, on two counts One: age Two; if she was his daughter and a widow, her surname would be different
