Hi
Back after a long break again
Could you please let me know what details would be on a death certificate from. 1920
Im hoping date of birth to help me confirm person on my tree is the one !
Thank you
-
Hi there
Date of birth isn't included, though age will be - although you can see that in any case from the GRO index, which shows age at death.
However, the validity of the information is down to the knowledge of the person telling the registrar.
And therefore it may be correct, or in fact could be well out.
You can see from the 1939 Register that many people either don't know their OWN date of birth (as compared with the evidence of a birth certificate) or choose to alter it for a variety of reasons.
So if you're wanting an idea whether a death is yours or not (so to speak) then comparing a known age with what the informant said to the registrar, and shown on the GRO index, will be as good as buying a death cert.
On the other hand, the informant, the address at death, the occupation of the deceased, and other details on the certificate might be good clues?
-
Thank you
You have confirmed my thoughts !
It was the date of birth I needed .she made her mark on marriage cert so even the spelling could be wrong of maiden surname ..Reece ..rees..she would of had no idea
I have correct person for death certificate ,
I think I have to leave this brick wall for a while for my sanity 🤣
-
Tell us who you're having a problem with & maybe we can help.
-
Thank you
Sadly I'm currently sat in my caravan and most details at home
She is Mary Ann Reece born 1853 st George in the east ..bethnal green , on her census forms
Married Johnathan puttnam 1870
Her father on there John Reece ...his mark
When I ordered birth cert for only Mary ann Reece born 1853 in st George in the east ( closest match I could find ) says mother Elizabeth jane Marshall father George Augustus Reece ..I found there marriage cert but no other info on them
Sorry very complicated (as usual) to explain
Thank you for your patience
-
Mary Ann says that she is aged 19 when she marries John in 1870, so born around 1851. However, a lot of births prior to 1874 were not registered as the onus was not on the parents.
-
Thank you sometimes a fresh pair of eyes to pick up on something obvious is needed
Will try again
-
Who were the witnesses on the marriage certificate for Mary and her husband? Is there an occupation for her father and where were they living at the time of the marriage?
-
Witnesses = John Reece (x) Labourer and Elizabeth Anford. Address for Mary Ann - 8 Victoria Street, and for John Puttman - 14 Medcalf Row. Image available on Ancestry.

Have you looked at the 1871 Census at the address where Mary Ann is shown as living on the marriage certificate? (8 Victoria Street, Bethnal Green)
In my experience it's slightly unusual to have the bride and groom at different addresses, which suggests this might be the family home and point you to her parents/siblings. You'd need to look at the various Bethnal Green census details to find the street but that's what I'd do.
There are a number of enumeration districts, and you'd have to trawl through them but.....
-
Thanks for that BumbleB

That's the one that newby dee found in reply 4, which sadly doesn't match the marriage cert

Sorry, missed that one
-
I don't know if this is of any interest - a baptism from free reg
Date was 6 May 1855 and the place was West Chiltington, Sussex
Mary Anne - parents John (Labourer) and Mary Anne
The surname has been put down as REECE OR REESE
I can't find any likely looking birth registration for the above.
-
Just got in and found all your help in here ..thank you much appreciated
Could some one explain simply to me 😂 how I check an address on census
Thanks again
-
FindMyPast have the facility to check census addresses. I have to say that I couldn't readily find either address in 1871. :-\
-
If you are on Find My Past they have a Census Addresses button that you can press and search a census record by address.
Be warned that some street addresses can be in more than one registration district, particularly if it is in London.
Addresses don't always appear as you expect them to due to errors in spelling. You may need to think of an alternative spelling that is close to what you have.
-
I'm Almost certain her year of birth is 1853 as it's consistent with death year , and the census years I have her on...so why would she say 19 on marriage cert if she was 17 ...I know for sure census and marriage are same people
Thanks again for reading
-
I'm with ancestry, do they have a way of checking census address ?
-

Jon r u saying u think bluegate is in Victoria street...if so this is amazing as it also links an Irish connection I have . I have had this census a long time myself trying to make a link ...you may of just done it..🥳

Osprey thank you yes I have this as well waiting to link it up because I have Johannah tullet (grandmother , Irish ) in a later census ..Eureka !!! Thank you for the reminder !
-
Well I just followed the directions for Victoria Street in 1871 from TNA, and there were the Reeces.
I guess they have a reason for saying Victoria Street and BG fields are the same. You could look for the other side of it in Stepney district perhaps!
Now osprey has found something very interesting to look into as well, so the puzzle is still to find a birth for Mary.

What is TNA 😱

I see what you mean about the Tullet family. This 1871 entry has possibilities.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2ML-JYR6
By the way, I'm not convinced about the age of Jane on that 1881 census. She may be 3 rather than 8.
::)
-
address for this 1861 is 8 Victoria Street

Last one ended in her death, 13 June 1893, at 1.55 a.m.
-
Also osprey he made his mark at Mary Ann wedding but signed at Julia's ?
Also on Mary Ann son's birth certificate (John Richard puttnam) she is maiden name Reece but when same son married he put mother's maiden name toolit ..I know for sure John Richard puttnam certificates are the correct ones ....maybe he just didn't know her maiden name but remembered granny tullet 🤔
There's a link somewhere and we have almost cleared my wall so onwards and upwards
Thanks again
-
Thanks Jon
I have Johannah tullet on 1891 census with John puttnam and Maria puttnam

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQK7-5PD
James was also baptised at St John's Cathedral Portsmouth 12 April 1818 son of William Tullett and Catherine formerly Mackganney.
Catherine Reece could be their remarried mother.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SG51-KSL
and 1871 with wife Jane & daughters
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VBQK-W21
Another possible baptism to William & Catherine Tulett 4 March 1813 in Charles the Martyr, Plymouth, father noted as Sergeant of Marines.
Possible marriage 22 April 1809 in Chatham William Tulett and Kitty McGinnis

Hi can anyone help me work out how to find the original of this in ancestry..
I've tried for hours and failed
Thank you
-
Do you have a sub to find my past? I can see the image on there.
I'm not familiar with how to find census records on Ancestry using the Piece, Folio and Page nos.
-
I only have ancestry
I have all the correct info but obviously I'm putting it in all the wrong places 😂
I will have to keep trying
Thanks for replying
-
Have you tried doing it by looking for one of the others in the household?
Some names are Jane Donald born 1823 Middlesex, Sarah Smith born 1839 Ireland and Catherine Keating born 1835 Ireland.
There are 11 people in that household, address is 8, Victoria Street, St George in the East, London & Middlesex
-
Good plan ...tried other family members only
Thank you
-
Try looking for Johana Lulott ;)
Or from the Search page, select 1861, then England. You can then enter the Piece No: 280, Folio No: 42 and page No: 27.
-
I've just tried with Catherine Keating by entering her name, year of birth and place of birth and living in Middlesex, England and it comes up with a birth year of 1838 Cork, Ireland.
I don't have a sub to Ancestry so can't check if it is the right one.
