The 1881 census shows Gordon Merlin to be 4 years old while the 1891 census states rhat Henry Merlin was 15 years old. The 1901 census records a birth date of 9 Aug. 1876. Furthermore, his birth was properly recorded as Henry Merlin, born on 8 Aug. 1876 (book 1811, p. 176, no. 695). The late registration of birth which was unnecessary records the wrong year of birth given that the census records are consistent about his age.
