Birthday coincidences
« on: Friday 23 July 10 15:16 BST (UK) »
My son is eight tomorrow and very excited, just taking a break from baking the cake and buns!
It would have been my Dad`s birthday tomorrow also.

My eldest son is born 2 days before my husband`s granny and one day after his brother.

How many duplicate days are there in your tree ie 2 members of the family born on the same day? Were any of your ancestors born on your birthday?

My brother and I were born on the same date (14th May), one year apart, me in 1958, he in 1959.
Our cousin was born in 1960, only five days later on 19th May.

In that five day period - 14th to 19th May - we also have a gt grandmother, an aunt, and another cousin with birthdays.

On a more sombre note, since 1985 we have had three close family members die in the same five day period of September, with an interval of twelve years between each death. Spooky.

I was born on my parents 3rd wedding anniversary March 24th, I always use to tease my dad and say what a good anniversary present I was....   Aslo when I was 9 my dad's sister was married on the same day and I was a bridesmaid so at the reception we had a wedding cake and a birthday cake...

cheers

Hi Sarah,

I was born on my mother's birthday 30th May 1964, an unwrapped present you might say ::)  Mum was born 30th May 1931, we were both very close and more like sisters or best friends than mother and daughter!  Makes us the twins - Gemini!

And yes i've since found a few more ancestors mainly on my mother's side with the same birthday - 30th May.

Strange isn`t it but what better birthday present than a child?

I suppose i should add that my husband was born 25th march, his youngest brother 17th of march, his middle brother and aunt 26th march.

His sister and parents have birthdays in july.

My sister and i have birthdays within 2 days of each other in november and my nephews birthdays within 2 days of each other in october.


Have a good weekend all

Made me chuckle that did!

My youngest daughter was due on the 13th same day as my Hubby, she was born on the 15th same day as my Hubby's nephew, Sam, her cousin.
Sam died on the 3rd aged 3 from meningitis and his older brother was born on the 3rd.
My uncle died on the 3rd anniversary of Sam's death.
My second child miscarried on the anniversary of my grandfathers death, my third child miscarried on the birthday of Sam and my 4th child miscarried 3 days before the 5th anniversary of his death.

Not birthdays but Valentine's Day in the past three years went as follows:

Year 1 my aunt's funeral
Year 2 my friend's wedding
Year 3 my godson's christening.
Can't wait to see what we have next year  ;D
