Hi, can anyone decipher what the word is on the attached picture. She's last on the list within a household. I can work out the others but not this one. Thanks

« on: Sunday 29 January 23 04:48 GMT (UK) »As you have the fathers christian name & surname & the mothers christian name & maiden name - you should be able to find their marriage on www.freebmd.org.uk
And that appears not to exist CarolW though there is a part of me that thinks confirmation of it does exist somewhere!

Are you sure it says that?
And not "formerly"?
The 2 words have different meanings!
Oops, yes formerly !!!

Whether she was or not is another matter. She wouldn't have to prove it ( and still wouldn't today).
Wow I had no idea!

Family History Beginners Board / Birth registrations 1915
« on: Saturday 28 January 23 14:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi there, does anyone know what the ‘regulations’ were for births registered in 1915?
We have a birth certificate where the birth is listed with the mothers first name and surname formally (another surname).
There is also a father listed with the same surname as the mother.
However it has been suggested that the birth certificate is wrong, that she had never married and that the child was illegitimate.
So I guess my ask is could the birth certificate be so wrong and how if the informant was the mother on her own. Thanks

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Common Ancestor hints.
« on: Monday 31 October 22 11:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi brigidmac, thanks for your reply. F-I-L was adopted and we have his birth mothers name but not his fathers (and adoption records cannot be located which might have helped with some back story). The 2nd to 3rd matches we do have in our tree and are in contact with them but no luck so far.
Two of the most closest matches are on MyHeritage, one was also adopted at birth and the other has no information to share. They are also added in to the tree.
For the Ancestry matches they are 228cM down to 122cM. We also have a match at 225cM who is not in that same family who is non responsive to messages.
For the MyHeritage matches we have a 346cM (also an adoptee) and a 227cM (who has no information to share).
We've added everyone that can be added and also researched their lines, but no breakthrough's so far. I was just a bit surprised that not even one person on the potential birth fathers side is showing as a common ancestor.
