Hi I do not know Derbyshire at all and have a birth cert for my mum born in 1947. She was born at Women's Hospital V.D (?). and the address her father gave as residence was 93 Nuttalls Park Ripley. In this box it also states "as per declaration 17th Oct 1947". I understand the declaration was made if the reg was made at a different records office? A friend said it's possible to access the electorol roll for this year at Derbyshire records office? I wonder if that would give details of who granda was living with at that time.
The name given for the mother is down as a married name of Armstrong Formerly Reid. But after searching Reid/Armstrong marriages 1947-1943 we came across nothing. Someone suggests they lied about being married.This lady left the family when my mum was too young to remember (weeks old). The gossip my mum was told was torture for her! Her mum was apparantly sent to prison for bigamy, had gave birth to my mum and returned to her own family of husband and children elsewhere. Which makes me wonder what this declaration was that was spoke about on the birth certificate?
BY THE WAY WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO REUINTE! this is family history only.
I have made it ack to 1605 on my late fathers side but as you can imagine nowhere on mums side as it is painful for her when all she knows is whats on her birth certificate!
If possible can anyone tell me about the address in Ripley? Can anyone access the elec. roll for Oct 1947? Is there internet access to this information? My granda was a miner was there a pit nearby?
Any advice or information greatly appreciated.
