Hi all, I am currently having a big tree tidy up in FTM starting with reviewing all my certificates to get all the extra information from them such as informants and witnesses. I have noticed in quite a few of the births and deaths that the address of the informant is different from the address in the date / place column even if you would expect them to be the same, eg the address given for a birth is different from the mother's address given when she registered the birth.
The only reason I can think of is that she went somewhere else to have the baby. Was this common in the late 1800s? I thought babies were delivered at home or there would be a hospital address. Are there other reasons why this would be different? Similarly, the wife of a deceased man gives a different address to the one given in the date / place of death column.
