not sure how you are seeing the birth date, rather than the quarter without buying the certs

EVelyn was a young war mum and my gt grandparents brought up the baby as their own. The father was American believe

did grandma officially adopt her, or just bring her up? so really this child WAS Beryls daughter, or you think she was, or someone elses entirely?

Hi, You should always use someone's birth date as a guide as where to start looking for a birth entry. If someone is born in May 2000, then search in the June qtr of 2000 ... but that baby may NOT have been registered until July ... SO, if the registration isn't indexed in June, then look at Sept qtr. Some births weren't registered at all ... other births were registered much later than you expect. Hope this helps. If you know BOTH names, then you could order BOTH certs ... but it depends what info you hope to gain, and what you already know. Elaine ;-) If someone was born in the Jan, Feb or March, then check the March and June qtr's. People born April, May or June - check June or Sept qtrs. People born in July, Aug or Sept months, could be registered in Sept or Dec qtrs. People born Oct, Nov or Dec - check Dec qtr of that year and March qtr of the following year. You have your Mum's birth as 1st or 11th Sept ... in this case, she MAY have been registered straight away, which means she will be in the Sept qtr ... but if she was registered - lets say - 29th Sept, then the chances are that her entry will appear in the Dec qtr.

I have just tried to look up my mum Jacqueline Harmer 1942 16th september on 1837 online ordering and cant find her gro number. There is a lady called Beryl Harmer on the same birth date . Would this be my mum. I always thought this was her much older sister. I know that my mum was adopted by her grandma, same surname. I am slightly confused. would anyone know if I should order the adoption certificate or the otherr name at birth. Thanks Suz
