Hi there

I have a relation whose date of birth on the census is as above. legend is that she was on board a ship coming back from USA, or born in Ohio, I have searched extensively but no luck

she is called Ethel Hopper, born June 1885 and later married Henry Gilbert in 1915

we have her in 1891 and 1901 with two different uncles

The 1891 says place of birth is Ohio America, British Subject.
One might assume that the 1901 notation of U.S. B.S. is for United States, British Subject.
