• Notes

  The 1901 Census says that he is b. 1867, which is the approximate DOB for his brother Benjamin, and he has a son named Amos B. However, there is no sign of Amos, who is consistently called “Amos” after 1871. In looking at the Dates of Birth Given in the 1881 Census for the family of Benjamin, there seem to be any number of errors. Also, his wife's DOB in the 1901 Census is way off. So it seems highly probable that his dates of birth in both the 1881 and 1901 Censuses are inaccurate. But the 1881 Census date does agree with the 1871 Census date, so 1859 seems the most probably date for his birth. [Bob H]
