    It's not hugely surprising. My g-grandmother died at 82 or 66 depending on whether you believe the marriage or death cert.

    I agree its not surprising. I have an ancestor who aged 18 years in the ten years between Censuses. That was often before and after marriage! The one I quoted just seemed so extreme as to cast doubt on whether I had the right person.

    Guys, please keep this thread for just deciphering the handwriting. By all means, open a new thread to discuss the ages.

    Not yet.


    Cronebane is the name connected around there, but it looks more like Cormoria

    There are townlands called Connary Upper and Lower nearby. Would guess this is a misspelling. It looks like Connorree.

    It does look like ee instead of an A when its pointed out. Ill go with that for now.

    Hove? Or Hore. Look at the top of the snippet, but the Rs are slighty different in the rest of the image. Any chance of seeing the full page, please?

    I think its Hove.
    Look at November, there's hardly any loop on the E off the V.
    Everywhere else there is a loop on an E.

    Sorry that image was poor this one should be better, and appreciate all help

    ( I also think it is but only because that is what Ancestry suggest it is and I have never heard of surname Flore )

    Yes, that last one would seal it as Hore for me.

    Oh that is fascinating!

    There's a registry office marriage for this couple 6 weeks earlier. I had it figured for her as the Catholic and him as the COI - for lots of reasons.

    Following on from my last one: looks like an adult baptism for the James Yore who married in the above.

    Can anyone make out the comment please?
    I think I can read it but don't want to bias other opinions.
