My mother was born in l909, and she could remember one of her young brothers being "breeched" and he started wearing trousers instead of a dress - I think he was about two or three at the time. |

This is really interesting. It's a term I have not heard before, and just goes to prove that no matter how old you are or how long you have been doing family history there is still something new to learn every day. |

I have a reference in an old family letter that states that my gg grandmother's father "only lived (long enough) to see that baby 'shortcoated' ". Can anyone tell me how old the child would have been when his father died? We are talking of the 1820s. |
