I am currently trying (and failing) to find my great nan's birth record.
Her name was Margaret Ann Bell and she was from Folkestone Kent.
She married aged 19 in july 1915 (her birthday was Nov so she would have been aged 20 later that year) to a Jesse Jarvis, this means she would have been born in 1895. I searched this year but couldn't find anything.
On her marriage certificate there is no information on her father, so i can't search for him either!
I then got hold of her death certificate that states she was born in Nov 1901!! Even though the dates don't add up i searched this year aswell and still can't find anything.
I remember my grandad saying once that he thought she may have been born in a workhouse but he cant be sure!
I really don't want to give up but i feel i have hit a brick wall, i would be grateful if anyone could help me!
