  • Birth Registration

    Can anyone help? I'm trying to find the register of the birth of my 2x Great Grandmother. I have looked at the freeBMD'S and have even ordered the birth certificate on the strength of my findings, but it turns out I have the wrong person as the father's name is wrong (there is no mother's name available). I understand that the date of birth and the date of registering can be different. Does anyone know how long this difference can be as I've decided to look at other registers surrounding her date of birth of 1878? Thanks.

    Welcome to Family Tree Forum.

    I think I am correct in saying that the registration needed to be done within 42 days of the birth, so you often find registrations in the quarter following the one you would expect.

    Do you want to give us a name and whatever information you have got to see if we can help?

        Welcome to FTF, Mike.

        her date of birth of 1878
        Is that based on a census, or a BMD record or something like that? In case you hadn't already spotted it, censuses and the like tend to suggest a latest year - if the DoB works out arithmetically as 1878, for example, that means that the actual DoB is more likely to be in 1877.

        And people didn't always give accurate information about their ages, for all sorts of reasons. I wasted a lot of time looking for my G-grandmother's birth cert not realising that she had chopped 7 years off her age, in order not to appear too much older than her rather young husband when they married!

          im assuming this is england? and that you have a marriage cert with her father's name on it? and census entries after marriage? have you found her in the census before marriage?

            I'm puzzled - I've never seen an English birth certificate which doesn't have a mother's name on it.

              Perhaps Mike means that he has her marriage certificate OC with fathers name on, but hasn't been able to find them on a census yet to ascertain the mothers name?

                  Oh right - how did you know that?! I can only see mention of a wrong birth certificate.

                    That's the bit which might be misleading from the first post - seems the father's name is known but not the mother's. Must be from a marriage cert.

                        It's the way the first post is worded and I think you are right - he probably has a marriage cert with father's name but can't find right birth or other record to get mother's name. I don't think he has a birth cert other than one bought speculatively which he knows is wrong because father's name is wrong.

                          Thanks everyone for your interest and your help. I'm sorry I've been so vague, this is my first time attempting anything like this. I'm still pretty new with everything. First of all I seem to have made a mistake, it is not my 2x Great Grandmother I'm looking for, but my Great Grandmother. Her name was Sarah Jane Williams and she was born in either the parish of Llandanwg in Merionethshire in Wales, or, the parish of Llanenddwyn, Merionethshire, Wales in 1878. I know of her date of birth through, as some of you have figured out, her marriage certificate and I also have her death certificate. I have tried asking my family, but no one seems to know anything about her. On her marriage certificate she is registered as a widow and her name is Owens. She married my Great Grandfather, Ellis Lloyd in 1908. I've tried searching for her on Ancestry under Williams and Owens, as yet they don't have the 1911 census, and I still draw a blank. I have found a Sarah Jane Williams living in Harlech, Merionethshire, Wales, but once again the father's name (Griffith Williams) is wrong. Once again thanks everyone I really appreciate this. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places, time will tell.

                            Can you give the reference for the 1908 marriage please as I can't seem to find it.

                                Have you found her in any census? If not, how do you know where she was born.
                                On her marriage certificate what is the name and occupation of her father.

                                        Could this be Sarah in 1891?

                                        Mike mentioned this name in post #13 but I am not sure if he meant it's the correct name for Sarah's father or not!
