This birth certificate would confirm who Alma's mother was

LancashireBMD confirms mothers maiden name as Edge

Alma DAWSON

Frank's birth reg in 1873 is also mmn Edge

Hello,  Both are me but when I entered the details I had kept it wouldn't let me in etc.  The previous one was from 2007.  I am now registered as janette chapman and its letting me in so could both be merged please.  My posts were about the same person Thomas Dawson so they do go together.  Thanks for the help.  Regards  Janette
