Find Ancestors

Now do i sit and wait for the others...or shall i go and watch this really good programme on TV.........yes the TV won

And you are who????

& where did someone disagree with me as i haven't noticed

No wonder jaded hasn't been back.

Julie, you've gone way too far this time.

I've noticed previously how abusive you get if someone disagrees with you. We're all supposed to be helping other people on here so stop spoiling it.

Julie what are you on about ?
Do you really feel this is an adult way to behave ?

Jaded...sorry your thread turn but you see certain peeps like to tell others what you do.......but i am one that just won't take any notice of it

I accidentally deleted my post before Julie's last false personal attack. (By the way, sweetie, it was you telling someone else what to do, not me, and I have no clue what an "RC neck" might be so your insults are wasted on me.)

The post in question contained *only* the information I have reconstructed below, so there was no reason for me to delete it intentionally. So there's another unfounded personal attack.


I will reconstruct it because it may actually be of use here.


"looking up deaths his date is birth date is 1924"

jaded, if you are looking at the index at Ancestry, you are seeing a death before 1969 on which only the *age at death* is entered. Ancestry then calculates the year of birth.

Your dad was born late in the year (1923). If he died before his birthday in the year he died, Ancestry would calculate him as being a year younger than he was.

For instance, say he died in June 1963. He would have been 39 (not yet had 40th birthday), so Ancestry would say he was born in 1924. That isn't a fact, that's just Ancestry's guess.


"on everting else it says march 1924"

I still don't know what that refers to -- death records before 1969 gave only an age, and after 1969 give a complete date of birth. So I'm not surprised Mike was still confused.

.

How utterly rude.

LOLOL oh and you don't delete your posts either lol

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

And there you go again wrecking someone else's threads with unfounded personal attacks -- two here so far. Enough is about enough.

I found it quite diffiuclt to decipher jaded's replies, myself, so I don't see the need to chide anyone who didn't manage.

If jaded would simply give the name and all the details of both the birth and death, someone might be able to help further. Hypothetical questions seldom lead to useful answers.

When I registered my own father's death I inadvertently gave the wrong year of birth, hence the death registration entries show him as being a year younger when he died than he actually was.

My grandparents died in June 1969 and the grandfathers dob is 3 years out thats because that was what he told everyone. Even if my grandmother had known the correct year she died with him

From June 1969 death entry's show dates of birth

It's called reading all the replies Mike.......thats how i knew what Jaded was getting at

Well Julie I'm glad you knew what Jaded was getting at.

"on everting else it says march 1924" .... .. On what ?

Jaded mentioned "looking up deaths" - not actually having the death cert.

Maybe the informant gave the wrong date as mentioned above

jax

Mike...that isn't what Jaded is getting at........She says his death shows his birth year as being 1924

His birth date is his birth date.
His registration date is when someone actually got round to registering him ( could be months later)

Registrations are recorded in quarters. Mar, June, Sept ,and Dec.

Even if he was registered on 1st Jan. it would show up as officially March quarter of that year.

Hi that means go of b/c Thanks for your help

On his birth cert what date does it give for when registered ?
