1911? if someone could look at one it could be her
HANCOCK ELIZABETH F 1900 11 Wolstanton Staffordshire

So where have you got her name from...this might help us

Do you know who she married?

quite sadly i dont know anything, this is where im stuck, i wanted to not have to pay for census records but looks like i may have too, the certificate is about 6 inches oblong by 4 inch yellowy looking,

all i know is her name dob, which is 26, oct 1900, and she was born wolstanton, stoke on trent

yes elizabeth ann hancox

hi sorry i have found out that she was born in wolstanton stoke on trent, the birth cert only states were she was born, the registra and her name and date

Good thinking Kath

I have sent a message to Samantha just in case she doesn't know how to get back to her thread as she says she is new to all of this.

Yeah Kath that did cross my mind too.

I just wonder if Sami has any info Elizabeths siblings or can cross ref that street address?

It could have marked wrong on the census...well thats what I was hoping!

I don't think the family Ginny found in the 1901 census is the correct one as that Elizabeth A. Hancox is 2 years old and your Elizabeth would only be about 6 months old at the time of the 1901 census.

Well done Ginny. I didn't read the post properly and missed the place of birth.

Hi.If it is a little red one about 6inch wide, this is the cheaper version that many people took, but if you apply for a full copy giving all the info from that certificate, along with the Vol Number and page. (lkike 4a 560??) it will cost you £9.50. and you can get it from the registry office or from the Central registry. Southport. Lancs. Ethel.

Does she have a middle name and which district was she born?

It sounds as though you have a "short" birth certificate - usually a small square certificate rather than the oblong one. Many people just got this one because I think it was either free or cheaper than the "full" certificate.

There are three possible births in the right quarter of 1900.

You may have what is known as **short certificate**,which just gives bare information,dates names,,
to get the full birth of parents etc,you will need to buy the full version..

Was she Eliz Ann?

I think the address is Legh St...whats the address on the certificate?

hi im very new to all of this so any advice would be great, i have been given my great grandmothers birth certificate, it looks like the original, it is slightly useless as it has none of her parents names on it, her name is elizabeth hancox and she was born oct28th 1900, in wolstanton stoke-on-trent, could she have been adopted or something, also any clues as to where i go from here, i have tried to find free cencus records online but dont know if you can actually get these, kindest regards sami
