I am struggling to find my gt gt grandma's birthdate and wondered if it would be on her death certificate. She died in the early 1930's, I do have the actual date she died . Can anyone help?? Thank-you
Teresa.

Date of birth was not added to death certs until 1969

What was her name please? where and when approx born

Teresa

Teresa Report 18 Apr 2013 16:34

She was Ann O'Connor /Connors.
I have all census records and she has slightly different ages!!
I know her Father was Michael, but no idea who her mother was.
It was a very common name in Liverpool.
I think she would have been born late 1852 or early 1853. Possibly Huyton??

I am guessing you have her marriage cert - if so, can you please say what her father's occupation was, names of witnesses and the address she gave?

Hi Vera,
that is the one I think could be Ann and her Father Michael, but I cannot be sure, as Connor is such a common name and I don't have any more info on Michael except that he was born in Ireland.
Teresa

I know that Michael was a Stoker on a ship at some point.

Jax. Thank-you for that info, can try and find a marriage for Ann's parents now. I know that Ann's mother died either in childbirth or not long afterwards, so I will try for their marriage and then her Mothers death, see if I can tie them in.

Infact there are quite a few Jane connor deaths but thats the nearest to the birth of Ann

Thanks Jax.
So many possibilities, its very difficult which way to go.
I can't even find a marriage for a Michael Connor/Connors/O'Connor to Jane in the year or so before Ann's birth!!

As Michael was Irish maybe they married there?

I read that as ...'Fireman in gas works'...which could fit the quest ?

Hi Jan and Gwyn.
This does look like my family, on her marriage certificate in 1875 Ann says she is 22yrs old.
The Mary Murphy 15 as granddaughter looks to be same one as 5yr old Orphan, lodger in the 1861, wonder if they sort of adopted her!!
She couldn't really be Michael's granddaughter and I have never heard of her mentioned in the family!!
Another mystery.
Thanks very much Teresa.
