    Hey all

    I purchased a birth certificate today for one of my Kelly family by the name of James Kelly who was born in 1855 to the parents Martin Kelly and Bridget Mo????
    Now the cert states that bridget could not write and as both Bridget and Martin were from Ireland i reckon she would have had a strong irish accent which the registrar would not be able to understand too well.

    James was the eldest child and was born in Chester.
    I looked on cheshire bmd in the hope that they may have married over here and so i checked all the years.
    In 1854 there is a marriage between a Martin Kelly and a Bridget Moran which took place in Chester.

    Does anyone think that this looks to be the correct pair?

    Suggestions welcome

    Do you mean you just can't read the birth cert?

    Can you post an image up?

    Was this child their first, as far as you know?

      Sounds likely but no one can tell you if its correct. Who was the informant? And does the cert say "Bridget Mo???" or is it that you can't read it?

      BTW certs don't say whether people can read or not. They might sign with a mark but that might mean they were too busy to faff about, especially with a new baby to look after. I have various folk who x or sign at whim at various different times.

        I cant post the cert up yet as im waiting on a new lead for my printer/scanner.
        As far as im aware James was their 1st child.
        I cant make out her maiden name on the cert but i know its Mo.r.n, looks like the person writing it didnt know how to spell it properly.

          The cert has a mark for the informant which was Bridget the mother.

            Well, if you can make out M-r-n, then Moran seems likeliest.
