if a baby was said to be 6 months old on the 1841 census when is she likely to have been born thanks

The 1841 census was taken on the 6th June 1841 Val, so the child would have been born 6 months before that, earliest 6th December 1840.

Yes but remember it wasn't law that babies had to be registered until I think 1873 so you may not find one, you are more likely to find a baptism as few went un-baptised.

Could very possibly be in either Val. Is there anything on the IGI to give you a clue or is it a very common name?
