Thanks Bob. I think I will look for the death certificate or record of this baby because I was surprised that this couple married in 1841 as later records (censuses) show no children born before 1847. |

I think, even today, the sex of a new born is not always obvious especially if they are premature. If the baby's genitals were not developed then it would be easy to make a mistake. 17 years ago when my daughter was born the midwife said "congratulations it's a boy.... errr sorry its a girl." Bob |

It wouldn't surprise me!!! My brother's (red curly haired twins) were always being mistaken for girls and I was mistaken for a boy at the age of ten, when I was presenting the Lady Mayoress with flowers at a charity fair. Perhaps it is just our family!!! Abigail |

How on earth do you spell that word? In the old parish records of 1842 in scotland there is an entry for my great great great grandfather registering the birth of his first child. March 30th 1842 John Henderson...had a daughter named Jane then a later entry a couple of pages later: March 20th 1842 John Henderson...had a daughter (crossed out and "son" written in above)... named Jane (crossed out and "John" written in above). Any guesses from the more experienced researches out there. When I approached the supervisor in the microfilm room he just looked and laughed. He never actually said a word to explain!
