The 1891 census only has one child that age with a name looking like that and it is hard to read. The mothers name looks the same.

[Fi aka Wheelie Spice]

no son of that name, but the child with the name that is difficult to read is a son and I apologise because it is the father of the house with the same looking name not the mother.

Therefore I would guess it is Elijah.

I am off to bed now. Hope that helps

cheers Fi....good night.....allan:)

Hi, I have looked at the index image and there are two entries with the one for Elijah added at the bottom of the page. I would say they were twins, but maybe one didn't survive to be included on the census.

I think it's a correction of the child's forename (and sex as well, I assume!) as there's no death for the 'other' child between then and the 1891 census.

[Margaret in Burton]

I agree with Merry, it's a correction.

[garstonite]

thank you both....I must be improving as that is what I thought...a correction.......cheers girls.....allan:)
