Title: Amy Woodhead Boyack 1916 West Derby
Post by: RodEast on Sunday 31 March 24 10:09 BST (UK)

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.  Amy Woodhead Boyack was born 08 July 1916 in West Derby Lancashire to William Rennie Boyack and Amy Woodhead.  Amy Woodhead died in childbirth.  I have Amy Woodhead Boyack on the 1921 census and the 1939 census but I am struggling for information curing the period between 1916 and 1921.  Can anyone help with the baptism details or anything else during this period.  Amy Woodhead W Boyack went on to marry Robert Stanley Edge in 1940 in Liverpool.  Many thanks.

Do you have the burial for her mother as it is possible that any baptism of the baby Amy would be at the same place if a church

FindMyPast has the baptism

Date of birth 6 July

Father a Torpedo fitter

In memoriam notice for mother says she died 4th August.  So not precisely a death in childbirth

There wasn't a census in 1939! ;)
A census is a snapshot of the population on a single night.
The 1939 National Register was used, and updated, by the NHS until the 1990's.

Thanks for your help.  It has quashed yet another family myth.
