Date of Birth Calculator

I like this - it's gone straight onto my Family History favourites list. Why is it that, even with an old-fashioned 'proper' maths education, I still struggle to work out the d.o.b. of someone aged 47 in the 1891 census in my head?!

LACK OF MAIDEN NAMES

This is more a general query than specific to FH (which I am really enjoying using).  How do other people manage the name records for married women?  I always list their single name where I have it and use 'Unknown' where I do not (as yet) know their maiden names.  This means that, after adding data...
