Anne,

No i didnt think to do that actually, i will look right now, thankyou very much for letting me know.

Joanne

Have you tried search trees on this site - there is a Harvey Defriend who has Ada Holloway b 1886 Greenwich in his tree - I have checked there was only one Ada born in Greenwich that year.

Shirley,

Thankyou for your help. I also found the 2 births for 2 Daughters, dont know if they lived in Croydon though but they may be theirs.

Joanne

Jo Lo,

Plus, she's 5 and 15 on the census records meaning she was born before March 31st.

jansmith,

Thankyou, i didnt see this one.

Sylvia,

Alot of people back then probably said all kinds about when and where they were born.
Your story is very confusing though i bet for anyne doing the family tree searching for your Grandfather.
I dont know anything about Ada so i cant say as to what you asked me.
It is strange though.

Rose,

Where does it say 2nd qtr?

Jo

Her birth was registered in the 2nd quarter of 1886 though.

Rose

Interesting


she was baptized on 8 September 1886


date given on that registration 8 December 1886


curious

jo lo


don't forget that the information given on a death certificate is that which is known to the informant


You do not have to provide any documentation to prove the information ..... other than the oen provided by the doctor regarding the cause of death.


SO ........... it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that the informant, for some reason, believed that 8 December was her birthday.


Could there have been a reason to celebrate her birthday on a date other than the actual day?




My grandfather always celebrated his birthday on December 25. Everyone had to go to his house for a short visit on Christmas morning

It wasn't until after he died that we discovered he had actually been born on January 9 of the following year!

................... almost 3 weeks later than the family believed.


I've come to think that it might have been his parents wanting to save money on presents.
