These numbers are in fact the age of each girl as the number of days (divide
by 365). Age in days is a field on the electronic version of the census
which presumably has been erroneously included as occupation.

I have come across two entries in the 1881 cnesus which I do not understand.
An 18 years girl has the number 6570 in the occupation column and her 3
years old sister has 1095. Anyone with an explanation please or a source I
could refer to?
Many thanks
