I am trying to trace the birth registration for Alfred Henry Karran born ( according to death certificate) 29/12/1921 Arbory Isle of Man. The Isle of Man archives have no record for the birth so I wonder if he was born on the mainland. On his marriage certificate his father is named as Thomas Henry Karran and the age 24 is correct with the date of birth as given on death certificate. My subscription to findmypast has expired and I can,t afford to renew just yet as my ancestry sub expired at the same time. Any help would be much appreciated. Kathy

thanks for looking. Anyone got and idea where his birth registration could be. Perhaps he lied about his age. Could anyone search a little earlier or Later. He left the Isle of man early in the war to join up so perhaps he was younger than he said and just carried on with the lie. I found the census record for 1901 but without the birth certificate I have no way of checking if thats the correct family. thank you all Kathy

Joyce Thats him. Have the death certificate which is where I got the date and place of birth from. Its the birth I can't find. He died so he must have been born. Kathy

margaret Thanks for looking. The date is correct but the name is off. I wonder if he was registered under a different name at birth? I don't know the name of his mother christian or maiden name or when they may have married. I supose I could search Thomas Henry Karran and about the time he was born. I wonder if IOM is on the normal registration or only on the IOM itself. Does anyone know??? Kathy
