Kathleen Emily Singleton Driscoll

[judy purssell]

Looking for birth records of my mother.  Grandfather was sent up to Scotland during WW1 and my mother was born on 20.8.1916.  Not sure where, but Dumfries or Carlisle possible.

Unfortunately Scotlands people statutory records available for viewing only goes up to 1913 so you would need to order her birth certificate

Hi judyp and Rosie

Struggling to see a Scottish birth with the name of your mother 

Judy, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the official pay to view site for Scottish records. It is free to register on the site and you can search to see if there are any results on BMDs or census images for example. You 'only' need to purchase units/credits to view search results and if relevant, download an image online.

Tried searching using the '*' wildcard for spelling variations. So searched for *ath* (either C/K for start of your mother's name) and then Drisc* for surname, years 1914-18. No entries showing unfortunately. Nor if I include or search only for middle name of Emiley (as Em*).

Your grandparents were married? A point to consider when searching for birth entries...

OK, just seen your mum's death index entry in 2003. She lived a long life didn't she   

Driscoll was your mum's married name? If so, have you been able to confirm her maiden name?

Hiya -There is a Kathleen Emily Bain born in 1916 at Leith (City of Edinburgh) Midlothian. Maybe worth checking her out?

Rosie,
I think Driscoll may be the married name of the lady Kathleen Emily Singleton .........
We are still waiting on Judy confirming this.

Judy, what was your mother's maiden surname? You will not get anywhere further until you know this.

There is a birth of a Kathleen E S Smith registered in the 4th quarter of 1916 (right year, wrong quarter) in West Ham, mother's maiden surname Reed. Also a Kathleen E S Thomas, birth registered in the 3rd quarter of 1915 (right quarter, wrong year) in Devonport, mother's maiden surname Summers.

There is a marriage of Kathleen E S Morgan to David Driscoll in Lewisham in 1938, 3rd quarter.
