Can anyone tell me if details of parents marriage would be recorded on a birth certificate for 1909?
Thankyou

Hello Fiona

This from the General Register Office website....

"Entries in the registers of births from 1861 include: name; date, time and place of birth; sex; father's name and profession; mother's name and maiden name; date and place of marriage; signature and qualification of informant, and residence if out of the house in which the birth occurred."

Best wishes
Jean

Hi Jean
Thanks for that - I wanted to make sure before I write off for a copy of a birth certificate. If the date of marriage is on it then I've broken down one of my brick walls! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
thanks again
Fiona

Fiona - I am going to NRH on Monday 10th if you want to let me know the details and I could look to say time/money.

Let me know,

Annie

Hi Folks
Just thought I'd let you know that thanks to the generous offer by Annie I have knocked down one of my brick walls! $\:D/$
My elusive Mackay couple were married in South Africa in 1907 so it's no wonder I couldn't find them.
A very happy girl tonight

That's great Fiona! So kind of Annie to have a look ... but then, that's part of why we're here - the great members!

Hi Frances
Yes I was very lucky! I think I mentioned in another post that directly or indirectly I have had a tremendous amount of help on this forum from kind members like Annie so I really appreciate it.
