That's interesting Falkryn thank you - I've never come across it in any of the other birth certificates.

The Common Room / Why 2 birth certificates for the same child ??
« on: Thursday 03 October 13 21:46 BST (UK) »
Could someone suggest why a child would have 2 birth certificates signed by the same registrar on the same date. Both certificates contain exactly the same information except for the district.The child was born in 1932 in Glasgow, one certificate states child born in district of St Rollox, Glasgow the other in Falkirk, Stirlingshire.Although the Falkirk one gives the same place of birth, maternity hospital in Glasgow.The librarian at Register House, Edinburgh could only say the Glasgow District one was the legal one as the child requires to be registered in the District born in. ??

Hi Gadget
looks like Karen is your best bet for digging up info in Canada. I don't think I'd be any good !
Enjoy your trip.

Cheers Gadget
My visit to Register House had to be abandoned as their system went down, will have to go back next week - have loads to look up. Is there anything I can look up for you ?

Gadget I wouldn't know where to start, this woman has been a nightmare !Quite disreputable actually, not at all the fantasy handed down through the family which is what makes the research so interesting !! Luckily all those close to her are long dead so there's no-one to upset with the truth and we, her great-grandchildren, have a different outlook - sometimes we're amused and other times horrified. I suppose there's nothing unusual in this, many families probably have sanitised historys.
The only thing I have left to clarify is her claim to have travelled to the US in 1919, it does make sense but the earliest manifests/border crossings/entry applications I've found have started in March 1920.I'm hoping the LDS centre in Edinburgh might come up with something. What the will clarified was that he left nothing to his daughter, which didn't surprise me but did make me feel sad for my granny as he had plenty to leave, even one of his properties would have been something and would have recognised her as his legitimate offspring - but there you go !

Just to let you know Gadget that I did get a copy of James McCabe's will and inventory today and it has answered a lot of questions.
Thank you again

Thank you Gadget that's brilliant.I'm going to Register House Edinburgh tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to read it there.I think his will could answer a lot.

Thank you Gadget and Cosmac.
James McCabe died 5 Sept 1920 so perhaps the will is his son's, he was also James and lived at 32 Philip St. - haven't read wills yet.
The family assumed she would have returned but it appears not, the sale of the properties were handled by solicitors.
No obituary has been found yet.
