Bethany, in answer to your earlier question - yes, you can order the certificates from GRO - They cost £9.25

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

You should be able to find her birth record on FreeBMD.

Bethany,

Have you ordered this cert?

Births Sep 1904 (>99%)
KING Elsie Salford 8d 151

As I think it's more likely to be this one.

Births Dec 1903 (>99%)
King Elsie Prestwich 8d 326

As she is stated as being 7 in 1911 the one registered in Sept qtr would only have been 6 when the census was taken and the Prestwich one is the area they were living in 1911.

Ah thank you that would make more sense

Thanks to the brilliant help from christineinportugal I have now come to realise That it is a strong possibilty she was born in prestwich.
it sounds morbid but I am really looking to see if she died very young as She was never mentioned or even existed until now

There is no obvious death for an Elsie King in Prestwich, or Lancashire, or England at a 'young' age. She is already 7 in 1911, so does not die 'very young' .
She might have married against her parents' wishes. She might have done lots of things. With her birth certificate you will have exact date of birth, and if she just lived elsewhere to an old age she could show up on death records.

It looks like she married a man called henry J Dyer in 1924 october-december range in prestwich

patchem

patchem Report 19 Feb 2011 19:30

Assume you mean this marriage:
Marriages Dec 1924
Dyer Henry J King Prestwich 8d 664
King Elsie Dyer Prestwich 8d 664

Have you got her birth certificate for exact date of birth?
Thanks

Bethany

Bethany Report 21 Feb 2011 18:02
