Possible birth registration for Mabel M Forbes

This is interesting - a death registration for Harold G Redmayne - before Margaret and Betty were born!!!

Deaths Jun 1928 (>99%)
Redmayne Harold G 28 Blackburn 8e 501

Now all we need is some feeback from the OP................

Perhaps that death explains why only the mother was mentioned in the request.................

OK, Linda..................

The male Redmaynes whose births were posted for you were your mother's half-brothers, so any descendants they may have are your half-cousins.

I've looked on Ancestry's transcribed records, and can't see deaths for the half-brothers between 1984 and 2005, which means that , either they died before 1984, or they are still alive.
