Did Ivy have any siblings? If so are they older than her? We might be able to find a Page /Jones wedding if we can narrow it down?

Remember though siblings can be as old as 26 years apart as my grandmothers eldest sister was

Karen Report 29 Apr 2008 21:44

Yes Margret thats the one i thought it was too

Its what my sister told me she said she has her birth cert, but where shes moved cant find it and she lives the other side of the country or id go round and look for it myself!!
She also thinks ivys mums maiden name was page but i cant find anything to prove that

Ivy Elizabeth Jones 1910 june qt West Ham gro ref 4a 2(56)0. Obviously the transcriber wasnt sure about the reg no.
Unfortunately when I check on the image it isnt showing the correct one.

The best think would be to order the cert from the West Ham office. The ref no. wouldnt be the same as the one on GRO

Karen

Karen Report 29 Apr 2008 21:36

No she was born 9th may 1910

Karen Report 29 Apr 2008 21:36

Yes i know but on the birth registration she is ivy elizabeth, its the only one born in west ham, unless she wasnt born there!

Sometimes people marry using just thier first name. Or sometimes they marry using the name they are known by. I have a marriage for Annie.

I couldnt find a birth for her as she was also Annie on the census.

It was only after being contacted by a relative I found her real name was Phoebe Ann. The relative had her birth and death certs

Karen Report 29 Apr 2008 21:30

Ok when i get the marriage cert i can then order the birth certs, reason ive not so far is on my mothers BC my nan is just ivy but on here shes under ivy elizabeth so wanted to make sure i had the right one!

Karen.
If you look at a birth cert it gives both parents names.Mothers maiden name.If the mother wasnt married it would only give her name unless the father went with her to the reg office.
Then the birth is registered in the fathers name and mothers name

Both will be found on the indexes with both names but the reg number will be the same.

As to"Is it the only way"
Births after the 3rd qt 1911 give mothers maiden name on the indexes
