Ye Dan I have founed deliberate errors in records here in England.with my
Irish ancestors as well as in America.

To marry in England requierd consent of the father if the Bride or Groom was
under 21 years of age.my great grand parents gave there age as been over 21
Their parents were in Ireland and none of them could read or write so it was
more exspediant to tell a little lie.They gave their correct ages at the
next sencus this made them 19 and 20 when they married.There son went to
America In 1912 having called of in Austrailia first When he jioned the
Marines he said he was born in Australia God nows why.the rest of his
details were correct.

Jim
