I have just seen an entry on the 1871 census for a baby of 6 hours. (An ancestor of Elaine in Reading, I hasten to add) Has anyone found anyone younger?

Have someone in my family tree down on census as being 3 days old, but think yours beats that by a mile! Amy x

I was looking on that.... there's a 'baby' on there, 2 months old... fancy still not having a name then!

It does say 'hours' doesn't it? Fantastic. I've got caught out before with the next sheet thing. I've calculated your family had 9 children, although some on the 1871 and 1881 have disappeared by the next census; perhaps they died.

I'm not surprised she died young...it's bad enough with 4 kids!!
