Slightly off topic from 'Suffolk Migration'. My ex was born on the canals,and her family go back to the navvies building the waterways,if a child was born on a boat they would often have the boat name and location at birth on a birth certificate. One of her rellies is entered as Place of Birth; The Moon (canal boat)Gas Street Basin. It makes you think............. |

Lovley though. I remember some time back on here someone had a record something like 'Born by large tree top of hill'. Dont know how lucky we are, do we. |

I've got someone on my tree somewhere that constantly gives her place of birth as 'Aboard A Ship' - No ship name, nothing else. Good job she's not a direct ancestor. Joy |

I have one from Orkney born 'Root of Tree'! I really would like to think it's perhaps a place name and the poor wee baby wasn't actually born at the root of some tree. LOL Christine |

One female in my tree was born 'On the Black Sea'. No mention made of a boat, so perhaps it was the original 'water birth'? ;>) CB >|< |
