[Sam Baggs]

  Good Morning,

  I wonder if anyone can help me with the above individual.  Samuel Gideon Baggs was born, we think, in September 1913, and I am trying to locate a copy of his birth certificate for his son.  How much easier can it be?  I have the month and year, but we have a problem with the location.  On all census records/official documents his birthplace varies between United States and St. John's, Newfoundland.  I have found sibling births in Mass., but can't find Samuels birth in either place.  Can anyone point me in the right direction.

 My cousin, who's parents split up when he was a baby, needs his fathers birth cert. to apply for British Citizenship after having lived in Scotland with his Scottish mum, for 66 years. 

Many Thanks for any help,


Christine.

that’s my grandfather im Samuel Baggs… my father’s dad, and know the story, his war bride moved back to Scotland shortly after his birth! So my uncle certificate should be in Newfoundland!

Newfoundland in 1913 was not yet a Canadian Province. They didn't join until 31 March 1949. After WW2.
Hatch, Match and Dispatch ( or Birth, Marriage and Deaths) we often recorded by the local or visiting priest depending on how remote the settlement (Some places only got paved roads after 1980s.And many of the outer islands were resettled in the 1960s ) The census is hit or miss. Many older Newfoundlanders found it difficult or impossible to find a record of their birth so they could apply for social security after Confederation. They relied on records for Baptisms and in some cases records in family bibles and affidavits from family or parishiners. You could try parish searches but any official records would be found in "The Rooms" in St. John's the capital.
A quick look on the Chebucto Genealogy website and a bit of googling and I found a Samuel Gideon Baggs born 12 Feb. !891. A bookkeeper from Bay de Verde who served in WW1. His Mother Leah  is next of kin according to his attestation papers father William having died. I can find him and wife Isobel  also in St. John's on the 1921 census but no children listed. You have probably seen Joseph and Susanah on Mundy Pond Road with Elizabeth, Minnie, Joseph, Ethan and Step son Samuel( Cound this be Joseph's nephew rather than a stepson? Looking further I found a death of a  Name   Samuel Gideon Baggs
Birth Date   1914
Death Date   15 Jul 1997
Event Type   Burial
Event Place   St. John's
Perhaps ordering a copy of this death certificate could help you work backwards and find out what he used to prove his birth and get his CCP. You can do it by mail or online.
Good Luck
