Scottish Birth in Belfast
« on: Saturday 14 March 20 17:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

Although researching my tree for years, I know little on Irish research. I have a ancestor born in Belfast (according to her fathers army papers) where her siblings were born in Glasgow. How and where can I find her birth record? She was born 16.09.1909

Thanks

Samantha

Her birth could appear on the GRO indexes for British Armed Forces, who are you looking for

Her name is Margaret V D Robertson, born to William Douglas Robertson and Janet Ballantyne Gordon. I believe the V to be Violet and the D to be Douglas but its unconfirmed.

Note date and year differ from the army papers and were 29th August 1910, but as you have seen, other details match.
