her birth cert. would confirm parents names!

KathleenBell Report 14 Nov 2011 11:43

This is her birth:-

Name: JEST, Annie
Registration District: Pontefract
County: Yorkshire
Year of Registration: 1909
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's Maiden Name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume No: 9C
Page No: 107

However I can't see her on the 1911 census, nor can I see a death for her before 1911.

Interestingly in 1911, wife Annie Jest is described as both wife and single.
Also daughter Lily Barnes ( who could I thought could be young Annie's mother) was not Jest when she married George Barnes.

Can't see her either on the 1911 census?
Do you know who she married?
A marriage cert. would give you her father's name, but to be absolutely sure of her parents I think you are probably going to have to buy the birth cert.

This looks like the marriage so Annie's "single" title in 191 must be an error

That looks like the correct family MaureenNY. Harry seems to have aquired his Mum's maiden name as a middle name. I think that his surname has just been omitted on the 1911 census.

Ah,that makes sense. I'll have to fire up OH's computer so that I can see the image. I thought perhaps they'd just "squooshed" together the U and Jest and came up with Ulyatt!
