Find Ancestors

Yes, xome births weren't registered ( my mother's wasn't) and some never made it to the GRO. As somebody as already mentioned, if you are sure of the date, try phoning the relevant Register Office.

Somebody earlier this week who was looking for a twin did that and got the registration.

This fits with the above

Alice Elizabeth T Armson
Year of Registration: 1908
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Shardlow
County: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 612

might the T be Thompson?

This is the only David T on the index in Shardlow at the right time

Andy

I don't know his name, bit of a strange situation my gggran ran away from home, changed her name and lived with a man, but not sure if he was the father? This is what i am trying to establish by getting certs. I must be looking in the right places because i am getting all the same info you are?! Can a birth not be registered? Thanks for all of your help !!

Clarence was born as Hampson:

Births Mar 1913
Hampson Clarence T Hampson Shardlow 7b 991

You said she had an older brother. Where is his birth and where is David's?

Rose

all other registrations have been registered in the shardlow district sorry not in nottingham, i am a nightmare too- could say it runs in the family??

i think i might order the cert for this one and see how i go, just to let you know rose, her brother David thompson hampson died in 1916 aged 5, her other brother Clarence thompson was born 07/12/1912 has thompson as a surname but no father was registered apparently he was not the same father as my ggran. Could she possibly not have been registered?? this is very strange?

thanks to you for your help x

There is this Alice, but later than expected.

Name: Alice Thompson
Year of Registration: 1908
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Nottingham
County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 446

Can you list her siblings details?

Rose

I am certain she was told that it is also on her death cert as that and on her marriage cert it says she was 20 in 1928 although i have just noticed she may have swopped her name around i have Alice as a first name here on one cert -my family was a nightmare!

I cannot see the birth in Q2 1908 under Hampson or Thompson if she was born in Nottingham.
Have you considered contacting the local (Nottingham) register office and asking them to check for her birth if you are certain it occured then?

Sorry should have wrote that at time of birth she was living in Nottingham, i have ordered the only elizabeth thompson cert and it's not her. That's why i was wondering if she could have been registered a Hampson too? Her brother died when he was 5 and on his death cert it says his name was David Hampson Thompson ?

Hi, i have a slight problem i have been trying to sort out for a while now. my ggrandma was supposedly born on the 31st march 1908 her name at birth as she was told was Elizabeth Thompson. I cannot find a trace of a birth certificate with that name her brothers older and younger were given her mothers maiden name as a surname ( Hampson ) but that seems to be a dead end unless i am looking at something wrong- my eyes hurt! Can anyone help me please ??
