I am looking for a birth. Problem I have is I don’t know if the child was male or female. It was born in Birmingham June 1924 – June 1926. The Fathers name was Fredrick Parkinson Mother Sarah Dovey, but I don’t know if Sarah was a widow before she married Fred. Would Sarah have put her maiden name down on the birth, or her 1st married name? |

Regardless of how many times she had married, it should be her maiden name that was recorded after the child's surname in the index.....after 1911. |

Yes, am sure that was her name when she married Fred Parkinson in 1924, rushed marriage, but as I said not sure if she was a widow. After having another look at some of my moms paper work, I am now looking for a marriage between sarah ann woodland and male dovey. |
