  • Cannot find confirmation of date of birth

    I am researching a Harold Grant Davis, born in a town called South Cave in East Riding of Yorkshire on 15/12/1926 now deceased, I am assured by his widow that the date of birth is correct, but having searched many web sites cannot find it, only an entry for Jan-Feb-Mar 1927 in the town of Beverley,His mother maiden name was Grant,
    Can anyone please throw any light on this? could it be a entry error by the registrar?

    Regards

    Hi

    You have 6 weeks to register a birth and especially with it being Christmas probably didn't get registered until the following quarter. The one you have found is probably the correct one but I'm not sure of the registration areas for Yorkshire.

      It is very likely to be the correct registration as parents had 42 days to register the birth of a child. The date of birth on the certificate will be correct, the birth was not REGISTERED until the 1st quarter 1927.

      My daughter was born late November 1968 and her birth was registered in Jan 1969, so she zppears in the JFM 1969 indexes.
