Giving Birth at 45? A possibility? #romania
|
While it is possible, be aware that for various reasons children sometimes misreported their ages to appear younger. If a 15 year old told a ship they were 8 to get a lower fare, their mother would appear to have been 7 years older when she gave birth. I'm not saying this happened in your case but it is something to take into account. Frank M. Cook fcook@... |

On an 1888 passenger manifest 7 children’s ages were lowered by 3 years to get a lower fare for all. My grandfather became a one year female which was as low an age that he could go.

My grandmother was actually 46 when my mother was born in 1915.
