Hi everyone I have fantastic news I finally found my Grandfathers birth certificate.|woohoo| I had found on the 1891 census, a family that was a possible, everything seemed to match, but the census's date was listed as April 2 1891.
The boy was listed as being a week or weeks old ( it was hard to read) . My grandfather's birthday was April 13 1891 after the census was done.
So naturally I thought this was the wrong family. The dates didn't match. Inside I just felt this was his family but how could it be? I took a chance and ordered this boy's certificate and guess what? BINGO, it's my grandfather. He was added later.
The question I have is did they do this ? add him later. Do they leave the form to be filled out with family and then they added him? How could this happen? Who knows about these things?
Thank goodness I went on a Hunch because all the names were correct . His Birth Certificate I ordered , matched the house No. and street , and birthdate.
Sincerely
Shelley Vercillo (formerly Brown)
