I wonder if this could be Elizabeth's birth............surname spelled differently but maybe the registrar mis-heard.

BIRTH
1st qtr 1880
Johnston Elizabeth Coventry Vol 6d Page 531

Ahhh good old Gulson road hospital. It was used during WW2 as an evacuation hospital for military wounded. My Grandad is Scottish and ended up there from Germany, which is how i ended up being born in Cov, he never moved !!

Assuming i go tomorrow (looks likely) I'll see what i can find out for you.!


Tracey x

I'll have to check the church records to see whom the parents are on that birth. The transcriptions might actually be online!

I'll look now for you... then i gotta go out lol


Tracey x

Sorry hunny, it's going to have to wait until next week. My son recieved a head injury at school today, only just got back from the hospital.

I'll be at home with him tomorrow.

James' 2nd marriage....


JOHNSON James Coventry.6d 691 2 1887

OXFORD Emma Coventry.6d 691 2 1887


Brenda

This is the son of James & Elizabeth. If you were to purchase his birth certificate this would give you his mothers (Elizabeth b 1848) maiden name.

HI BRENDA
I HAVE GOT BIRTH CERT, COVENTRY, 16
*84, [384] AND I THOUGHT I WAS RIGHT, BUT
1845 GEORGE, AND THEN FARTHERS NAME HENRY, THE MARRAGE CERT PROVES THIS WRONG, THE ADDRESS ON CENUS VICTORIA STREET RECURRS LATER IN MY TREE SO I KNOW THERE IS A CONNECTION, I AM WONDERING IF RUGBY WAS A DISTRICT IN THE 18 HUNDREDS.

HI BRENDA
THERE WAS A DIDGIT MISSING ON BIRTH
INDEX, IT WAS ALSO WRONG IMAGE WHEN YOU TRYED TO VIEW IT, SO YOU HAD TO SEARCH THROUGH THE PAGES UNTILL YOU GOT THE RIHT LISTING, EVEN THEN IT WAS HARD TO TELL IF IT WAS A 3 OR 5, COULD IT BE THAT VOLUME 16 WOULD BE ALL HILL BIRTHS, AND THAT384 TO 584
GEORGE HILLS BORN COVENTRY, JUST CARNT MAKE ANY SENCE OF IT.
JOHN

Here is a birth that I cannot find listed on freeBMD but is on the familyrelatives gro index.

BIRTH

George Hill
Coventry
4th qtr 1844
vol 16 page 350


ps

is listed on freeBMD but as this

Births Dec 1844
HILL George Coventry 16 330

I think it is vol 16 page 350 though!

Brenda

hi brenda
i have checked out that image for george hill
and i think your right volume xvi 350 not 330,
i have also made a list of all elizabeth johnson and johnston
born between 1880 and 1882, and i will search through, the cencus's tomorrow and try to eliminate them, have you
got any tips that might help me, this is the only idea that springs to my mind.
anyway thanks a lot for all your help, its been fantastic,
best wishes
john

Thats some job you're taking on! Didn't Tracey say that she would look up that birth for you when she went to wherever it was she said she was going to......sorry, having a bit of a blank mind. Me, I would pay out for the certificate and take the risk. Lots of luck is wished for you!

Ps

She is the only Elizabeth Johnson/Johnston born in Coventry 1879 - 1881.....just checked on freebmd.

BIRTH

Brenda

hello again brenda
was going to start with that one,
if the name johnston is on the register, will that mean the certificate will be johnston, or could it just be the register that is wrong or both.
best wishes
john

You will need to order as written and I believe that both the register and the certifiate will most likely say Johnston. Bearing in mind that many of our ancestors couldn't read or write, it would have made little difference to them.
