Bob,

You're telling me ! But I suppose that's part of the fun of family history research...

Thank you Slowhands for your very useful summary. Looking at this I am sure I have not seen the data for the 1891 Census before because I don't recall seeing that Leonard Pirie's date of birth was given at this time as 1856! The lack of consistency, noted by also by Bob, makes it very difficult to make any assumptions as to why age records varied so much.

As a footnote, Ruth PIRIE and her half sister Dorothy moved from Brighton to the Forest at some point; Ruth married Joe MALSOM, whilst I understand that Dorothy worked for many years at the Dilke Hospital (not sure if she married). I have a photo of Ruth and Joe outside their cottage in Crossways, taken between the Wars, which I'll also scan and submit.

Matt
