My husbands Grandmother Agnes Benson on birth cert,, i had a hard time with finding the death cert found her as Agnes Ann Benson she never married but i have her infirmary record when she gave birth to my husbands dad still called Agnes Benson no Ann. I also have her baptism record no Ann so where this name came from who knows she wasnt a catholic so not a confirmation name. Her father registers her death in 1935 so surley he would have known his own daughters name but then again would he the mind boggles. Colette |

Thanks Kay, Never thought of recording second name on baptism records, I thought all names had to be given on birth certificates, but thanks for the info. I'm fairly confident it's him, so thanks Kay. Sandra Sorry forgot to mention I don't think that's him because between 1901 cenus and marriage all details relate to year 1864, but thanks for trying. |

Can anyone help me. I'm confused. I ordered my gt grandfather's birth certificate using his middle name, and the 'on line' Records Office have emailed me saying -'the reference does not appear to relate to the entry you are seeking because the middle name is not stated. Therefore, we are unable to issue a certificate'. His middle name is on his marriage certificate so wouldnt it also be on his birth certificate? Or should I have just ordered it without his middle name? I can't find any other birth record which matches his. I found him on the 1901 census with correct family etc. His name was Joseph Samuel Baker born 1864 Fallings Heath, Staffordshire, father's name is William H Baker. Thanks in advance for any help Sandra |
