Finding a birth Cert - Marlborough

[Immortal Druid]

 Thats brilliant thank you so much Will send off for their marriage certificate. it certailnly won't be the first mistake by a long way rofl My Grandfather is recorded as Penn on his marriage certificate, he was actually Fenn, and another of the Templers is recorded as Sempler on a marriage cert!!

Someone on Ancestry has Hannah Frances GORDON in their family tree - born 25 July 1813 Marlborough, daughter of Admiral Sir James Alexander GORDON and Lydia WARD.

Oh wow, thats the same as the Date of Birth I have! I must register with Ancestry I think

I suggest you only cite Hannah's details on the marriage certificate application as the Temple/Templer error seems to have crept in in the compilation of the typed index and could complicate the application.  You only need to give one of the names to get the certificate.

I wonder if the Gordons were in Scotland or abroad in 1841.


In 1851 Hannah's Father is in charge of Greenwich Hospital
