  • birth help please

    hi,

    i have found a death record for a (2nd i think, without working it out) cousin, and on this record it gives her birth. great 2 hits in 1 go.

    NOT as easy as that. i've looked through ancestry 3yrs before and after the date given on death record but i cant find a birth for her.

    can anyone see if they can help me find it please?

    - Ancestry.co.uk death record on ancestry.


    it's a strange situation as the record for her marriage gives her maiden name as lackey and the grooms is the same -

    Amy, the index record for her marriage doesn't give her maiden name, just the surname she was using when she got married. So her surname could have been something else when she was born.

        When the marriage cert comes, hopefully it will tell you her father's name and then her maiden name should(!) be the same as her father's surname. Or if you know of any children that she had, you could look up their birth registrations and her maiden name will be listed. If you don't know the names of any children she had, I suppose you could look through the birth indexes from when she got married onwards for any Lackeys and then copy the mother's maiden names down and try looking for her birth under each of those names?

            Oh, okay, well then her maiden name should be Lackey. Maybe she was born in another country?

              i hadnt thought of that.

              most of "my lackey line" originated from ireland in the 1870's and settled in durham. her husband parents were from durham and settled in surrey, where her husband was born and they married and stayed etc.

                Could not the bride and groom be cousins (both named Lackey)

                  well i have wondered.

                  i have a book in the loft that belonged to my father and it was from .......... (groom living) and heather. i always thought they were brother and sister until i started looking into the tree. and as i cant find a birth for her but can him and they were both meant to be born 1952 i ruled out my thoughts.

                  anything is possible with my family and i dont think anything would supprise me. i have unveiled a few skeletons!

                    the other possibility is that her parents weren't married when she was born, so she's registered under her mothers maiden name

                      Her death cert should give her place of birth.
