vivienne

On ancestry the 8 is clear the 9 is not, Although i would say it is a 9.

Hi Viv,

Looks like 58 to me on find my past.

I must email you later,

Dee xx

Vivienne, I would say it was 98. I do some transcribing and I would have recorded it as 98.

When you looked on FreeBMD did you also check the original scan? I would recommend you do this before ordering any cert.

Jennifer

thats where i looked and thats what i think it says too , thank you for looking richard
vivienne

page 58 perhaps?

I would also say 98.

I think you can order without ref numbers if it is unclear ?

You can e-mail a dept at the GRO about unclear images before ordering, they will confirm the details for you.

Will have to try and remember the e-mail address. (It is somewhere on the GRO site, but I can never find it).

I have had a look on findmypast, and it looks more like a 5 to me.......but again, very unclear. I think the person who typed this out had a slip of the finger on the keyboard because the first number is smaller (in size) than the second.

argh!!! now im confused do i go 58 or 98
rutland belle,ive never been able to get freebmd up large enough print so i normally use ancestry but didnt double check that one first.
dee, this is the chapman known as lambe one and please do email when you have time as its got even more confusing but i KNOW this is the right one this time
every thing clicks except everything doesnt
the tearing sound is my hair coming out and did the parents have a good time ,i was ther yesterday.
so 58 or 98
think ill go with the transcriber lady first
thank you all
vivienne

Viv, when you get the scan up on FreeBMD you can enlarge it by scrolling within the image.
FreeBMD seems to be down at the minute as I have been to check and can't get on, but I'll keep trying.

The other thing is to try the local record/reg office. They keep their records differently but if you explain they may be able to find it as you know the quarter and year.

Jennifer

if i order without refs wont they charge LOADSA money lyndsey? or i know
ANYBODY NEAR BRENTFORD REG OFFICE????grovel grovel.
your as untidy minded as me then kif!!!!
thanks again all and any more offers are welcome to make me even more confused
vivienne

ive got it.!!!!!
in one hour i will tot up the 98s v 58s and go with the largest vote
i cant get on freebmd either so it must be down
vivienne

Viv, I just tried to find Brentford and unfortunately to make things more difficult there is no longer a Brentford Reg District.
It was abolished : 1.10.1947 (succeeded by Ealing, Harrow, Middlesex South and Willesden districts)

so my luck is running true then!!
but he was born in ealing that i do know
viv

I have blown it up on Ancestry to 200% to compare with the 5 above and the 9 below and I think I'd still go with 9. On the number 5 above the top part of the number slopes backward as it does with this 5 but it doesn't do that on the one you looking at.

And I thought hand written scans were difficult to read!

In reply to deleted post above;

Certificates are not held at the records office, only at the local register office.

Brentford and Brentwood are completely different places, Brentwood reg office do not hold Brentford bmd registers

Just to point out that the freebmd ref isn't 8 but _8, meaning that the transcriber couldn't decide what it was either!

As a transcriber, please can I ask people always to check the image - we are only human and do make mistakes!

This is on the Elaing Council web site:
