Look for www.mass.gov on i'net, and vital records.  If a request to them is unsuccessful (probably will be), post on a US board and someone who goes to the records office will probably look it up for you.

It looks like it's listed in the index here:  http://www.sec.state.ma.us/vitalrecordssearch/VitalRecordsSearch.aspx  So I would think it should be able to be found.

Massachusett's Vital Records 1841-1910
Vol: 369
Page: 211
Year:  1886


Date of birth:  April 25, 1886
Name of Child:  Annie Rose
Sex:  F
Place of birth:  13 Village
Residence of parents:  Boston
Parents names:  Alfred and Rebecca
Father's occupation:  Trader
Father born:  London, England
Mother born:  London, England

You probably know all that information but I wanted to give you a reference point in case you need it to order a birth certificate.   I also have an image of the page which is very faint.

wow thanks both of you I just realised this is the place I have emailed twice about the cert and they dont even reply Huh
But that is enough info for me thanks very very much everybody
This man Alfred real name Hyman Guttentag ran off to Mexico supposedly and he bankrupted his Father who was trading in England ,there was a big story about it in the Times so I was surprised to see this Daughter back in England in 1901 living with the Grandfather her Father robbed Huh?
Dont know where Alfred and Rebecca ended up though HuhHuhHuh?
Is that the same info as would be on the Cert ?? Dollylee

Shelly,

Glad you could rememmber that site name; I couldn't.

DollyLee,  would it be difficult for you to get the same info for me for this fellow:

Grear Hugh Wakefield 1875 269 211 Birth

Is where you found it a freely available database?  Took me a while to find since actual name is "Greer".

Hello Nick

reference as you stated.

Childs name:  Hugh Grear
Born:  Wakefield
Date born:  May 23, 1875
Parents names:  William and Isabella (Chisam)
Parents residence:  Wakefield
Father's occupation:  Laborer
Father born:  Scotland
Mother born:  Nova Scotia

I am pretty sure the Chisam is correct although it is pretty hard to read.

and the answer to the question is no  Shocked

dollylee

*** added  not sure why I said pretty hard to read .... it's only the a that is in question.  It definately is not written as Chisholm (if that is what it is supposed to be) perhaps Chisam is the way the recorder heard it?
