Help required for an abbreviation: .....

Post by JohnI » Thu Oct 26, 2006 6:34 pm

In an 1891 census I have two children whose place of birth is given as United States of America. In the 1901 census, the same two children have the place of birth given as America B.S.
What does B.S. mean??

Hello John,


B.S. = British Subject.
