I think what Reg was referring to was her place of birth - you said it said she was born in Shoreditch and English birth certs dont show a mothers place of birth. Residence would just be where she was living at the time of the birth.

Sarah's marriage reg'n Name: Sarah Berwick Year of Registration: 1894 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Shoreditch County: London, Middlesex Volume: 1c Page: 122 Henry John Chapman From the freeebmd transcriptions on Ancestry! I'm curious to know where on an English birth cert the mother's birth details are recorded........or is it, in this case, something added by relatives at some later date. Reg

Hi no he was born in London I think it would be easier to get grandads parents wedding cert as I have just done another search and put in another year and only one Sarah came up but she born in Liverpool my Sarah on grandads birth cert says she born in Shoreditch I know she could not read or write as on birth cert there is a cross where she should of signed thanks

Registration wasn't compulsory until 1875. You say you've looked only on freebmd............perhaps the record is on the full index. Register with Ancestry to gain access to the index. Reg
