Re: Catherine Taggart nee Watterson

Jackie, the ages for adults in the 1841 census were supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 5, but since Catherine was in her late 80s, her age was given as 90.

There are 3 different ways of finding the right pages:

1) Malew district 7, pages 6+7

******************************************
2) Brian Lawson's census index for 1841:

TAGGART William 60 Mal 1464/4 46 10

TAGGART Jane 45 Mal 1464/4 46 10

TAGGART Catherine 90 Mal 1464/4 46 10

TAGGART Jane 15 Mal 1464/4 46 10

TAGGART Catherine 15 Mal 1464/4 46 10

TAGGART Ellen 7 Mal 1464/4 47 11

KERMODE Ann 5 Mal 1464/4 47 11

KERMODE Alice 4 Mal 1464/4 47 11
