    The above is the 1991 Census entry for my grandmother M. Cohen and her first husband M. Cohen, as you can see the husband is given as aged 60 and as single, my grandmother is given as 32 and a widow but has been married for 14 years in current marriage and has 5 living children. All five children were male and if we look at the total number of males living in the building it was originally marked as 11 and then changed to 6. none of the 5 children appear anywhere else on the census. So this page is full of errors and omissions. DON'T trust everything you read!

    I've said it before, but I'll say it again. It's a wonder we get anywhere! Come to think of it the fact the we do is testimony to just how good we are!:D:D;)
