The Common Room / Re: Just can’t find birth cert ?

However if they were married in 1914, then Gladys would have been 12 and William would have been 12 or 10 - which bears out your original story.
1914 - 1892 =22, not 12
She would have had to be born in 1902 to be 12 at the time of a 1914 marriage

According to FreeBMD
Gladys M Whitehead and William G Mallet were married in June quarter 1914 in the Northleach district of Gloucestershire
(June quarter covers April, May, June -- so fits the April 25th date)

There are two possible births that are worth investigating:
Gladys Mary Whitehead Northleach Sept qtr 1891
Gladys May Whitehead Salford  Sept qtr 1892

but for a Sept birth , I would expect a Dec qtr registration

The wedding on that certificate took place on 25th April, not 2nd (can't see year in the clip shown)
The groom was 21 and the bride was 22, not 12

New Zealand / Re: WW1 Attestation Papers -- dependants?

No worries!

It isn't vitally important -- just curiosity on my part.

I'll try to remember to remind you about it in October!
Enjoy your trip overseas.

I would say it is still in private hands -- it is listed as the address of a Sole Trader  Haulage Contractor

Well he was not blind on the other census's or on his birth certificate.  So not too sure about that.  I have looked back on them but nothing.

It would not be on his birth certificate anyway --  BCs do not have any mention of disabilities

It will be an enumerators / statisticians code of some sort

For the  censuses where you get an scan of the actual form filled in by the householder rather than a scan of the enumerators copy book you will see all sorts of annotations in various colours of ink --done by the enumerator as he copied them onto his master form or by the statisticians analysing various data (which is the purpose of the census  -- to collect data  on the population to help formulate Government policies)

If it was an actual correction to the information given, the statement of him being blind would be crossed out and possibly something else written in.

Thanks
