Age provided a… John's birth year is based on an estimate from ages provided at both census returns. Age provided at death makes him so much younger and beyond a normal kind of range compared with the census returns that it has been discounted. Daughter who registered death had not been living with him at the time of the 1911 census, married in 1904 and despite being recorded in both censuses as being able to read and write perhaps had no real idea of his age. |

Given her estimated age it is unlikely the marriage occurred much earlier or that or any/many kids preceded the one born in the first year of civil registration. |

| Birth of a son | James McCOLE 1867 (aged 35 years) Note: The birth registration provides a date of 20 February 1868 on information provided by the father. I… The birth registration provides a date of 20 February 1868 on information provided by the father. It most unlikely to be correct. Brigid was born and baptised in October the same year. The baptismal register starts in 1868 and no record of baptism was found for James. The civil registration records appear to have captured a few babies, including James, who were slow to be registered increasing potential for error. James' age in both census returns place his birth in 1866 and 1867. A guesstimate is made providing a birth in 1867. |
