1881 i have got a infant born and it says a boy but in 1901 the only person that matches is a girl could they have been wrong or do you think the baby could have died?

Its possible, I suppose, that the sexual organs were not clearly defined......so they guessed.........one condition, is called "Hypospadias" but that usually works in the opposite manner.

They could have written it down wrong - on either censuses. I found a couple of daughters who were down as 'ditto' sons, and vise-versa.
