Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 101 Send Message	I am trying to find out about a mysterious family member. Her marriage certificate has her as Elizabeth Ellen perry age 21 years father William Thomas Perry. She married Stanley Kyme 09 07 1942 Her death certificate has her as Helen Elizabeth Kyme date of birth 25 03 1919. I cant seem to find a birth and if she was 21 in 1942 she would have been born 1921. Any help is greatly appreciated.

	Hi Rebekah - ages on certs aren't accurate! On her death the information is only as good as the informant's knowledge. Was she a spinster on the marriage certificate?

If she was the informant for the births, you can be pretty sure she's got her own info right! As mentioned, death certs are the worst of all certs for information, as the details contained within are only as good as the knowledge of the informant. Is it possible she had preferred her middle name of Ellen and her accent made it sound like Helen? There are numerous possibilities.... but you will most def need to stick to certs where your relative was the provider of the information. Tracey :-D

	How does she connect to your family? What was her father's stated occupation? Who witnessed her marriage?
