That's great stuff---rootgatherer---I'm both impressed, and very grateful. I've got some piecing together to do, so, 'Poldark' first, then off we go. Arfermo. |

Spelling of Mary's surname a little different on her marriage registration compared to Margaret's birth certificate. |

Hi folks--today I have received the 'Liverpool' ( vol 08b---Pg 21 ) entry for my Grandmother's birth certificate--ie. 24th September 1884, Reg. 3/11/1884, and it has some surprises. 'Mother of baby' is, Mary Brown.- late Fredrickson--'Formerly 'Morris'.. Fathers occupation--'Seaman'. Should I assume that Mary Brown was formerly married to a Mr Fredrickson, who died? As to the GRO 'refusal'. It can only be due to the fact that I copied the reg details from The GR print-off, which does not include the '0' prefix that GRO requires. Then it worked--so a point to note. |

Arfermo- not sure what you mean about the GRO searching system not recognising it. |

Arfermo, you could save others from making the same mistake with those wrong certs - if you go to the freebmd site |

AustinQ--you're an early bird, --I'm a Night Owler. , I'd been in bed 3 & half hours when you wrote. Thanks for your stamina. I tossed a coin, and lost, by choosing the wrong entry. Which was--'West Derby' vol 08b page 563. Almost every wrong 'un I have bought, was down to the father's occupation being way out . MY Great Grandfather James being a General Labourer or specifically, a Dock Labourer. This is written on his daughter Margaret's Wedding certificate, to James Casey. On this new certificate, This James Brown was a Machine Printer, a skilled job. It is unlikely that he would become a Labourer, but not impossible, during hard to find work periods. I tried the GRO searching system, using the second choice --'Liverpool' vol 8b----page 21, and their system didn't recognise it. I have written the details on their 'fault' page. If that hitch is resolved--I will buy the 'Liverpool' Cert. A regular problem lies in the fact that a date of birth, late in the year, is overlooked in favour of the date of registration--as in this case, and with daughter Annie. 1907/08. Thanks again-- Arfermo. :-( |

Dear me---yet another wrong 'un through the post this morning. Just when i really thought I'd found my grandmother's birth certificate, Margaret Brown- at last---Wrong father's profession. Anther tenner up my cassock. How I wish the father's occupation was available online, it might have saved me a small fortune. I have a dozen wrong Certificate's now--the usual main cause of failure is the info you cannot see before taking a chance. Does anyone know if a certain organisation on line, that accepted 'wrong' certificates that others may want? or sometimes exchange, is still around? Arfermo :-\ :-\ |

Thank you both. I met some of the older Casey family member's about 12 years ago--now sadly deceased, and they knew my Grandmother just after WW2, till she died --in 1950. They stated that Margaret had no middle name. The Census of 1901 and 1911, do not attribute her with a middle name , and there isn't one on her wedding certificate either. I have to conclude that she didn't have one. Thanks again--I will still try and connect your findings, As they say, Brown is one of the top four 'nightmare' names, to trawl through. Arfermo. |

Tis strange- possible death for Alice 1900- but not really looked into it. I'm about to sit out with a glass of wine, so unlikely to come back to it today. |
