Leap Day babies

[Shona]

It's my Mum's birthday today...sort of.

She was born on 29 February, so we celebrate on the 28 February when it's not Leap Year.

I can't remember coming across any other 29 February births when researching my family tree - Christmas Day, New Year's Day, my own birthday, yes, but no other Leap Day births.

Anyone else got Leap Year babies in their family trees?

Yes, my 2xg-grandmother Mary Ann Sewell was born 29 Feb 1860. She lived to the age of 86, so she got to have plenty of proper birthdays!

My Great Uncle was born 29th February 1928.

I have a double leap day ancestor: my 3xG-grandmother Mary Ann Bentley was born on 29th February 1788 and buried on 29th February 1828.
