Title: Mary Elizabeth moore birth cert
Post by: TEISAR on Saturday 05 August 06 19:15 BST (UK)

I am trying to find the birth of Mary Moore, I have her wedding cert , where she married Thomas Smith.I have had great success in tracing that line.But not the Moore line.She married Dec 24th 1893 and her father was William Moore, she was twenty years old.On the 1901 census it was stated she was born in Risca,on the birth index I find two possible leads.Both born in december 1872 no Mary Moore was born 1873.I wondered if her birthday may have been Christmas day or the end of December.there is a Mary Moore registered in Mynyddyslwyn and one in Pontypridd.I did think that the Mary born in Mynddslwyn may have been her, but and that is what I need advice about, there is also a December death of a Mary Moore recorded as being 0, so I take it that means the child did not live a day.The question is would such a child have to have a birth cert as well as a death cert, even though she lived less than a day?if so it would only leave the Mary Moore in Pontypridd.Thanks in Advance for any help.

Hi Janice,

Just a little explanation: The december quarter covers 3 months (September, October, December) and people were allowed a few weeks to register their children therefore even August births could have been registered in the December quarter. Therefore if you find a birth + a death in the same quarter, the child could have been a few months old at death. As for a child age 0, it could have been 1 year minus 1 day...

PS. I see Genuki has Risca in the Newport registration district  ???

PPS: Was it this one you had spotted in 1881? http://tinyurl.com/h34s9

The other possible being this one, if she went by the name elizabeth? http://tinyurl.com/fkr2t

Thanks, for your advice.This has been a hard one to crack because,I can not find her on the census records.Well there are two possibles but the ages do not tally.
Thanks
