Cork / Baptisms in Parish Church Dunmanway
« on: Sunday 01 January 17 13:46 GMT (UK) »
I have found a baptism in Dunmanway for Benjamin Deane in 1825, records suggest the Benjamin Deane I am looking for was born c1813. I wondered anyone knows if it was common for older children rather than babies to be baptised in this area?

I wonder how many mistakes the future generations will find in our records?

The civil service evidence of age record was signed in July 1869 in Birkenhead. The record is on findmypast, I have to go to the library to read more about the record as I do not have paid subscription now. We can use a few sites free in the library, I expect but am not sure this is available throughout England.

Thank you all for your replies, he was born in 1829 so there would only have been a baptism record.
Yes, I did mean Civil Service Evidence of Age records, I am not sure yet what I am allowed to put on my message. Am I allowed to mention the site?

Cheshire / Why was ancestor declairing his birth?
« on: Wednesday 05 October 16 13:17 BST (UK) »
I am new (only a few days) to using Rootschat
My Great x2 grandfather was in Tranmere Cheshire and signed a declaration as to his date of birth, (he was not completely sure) I found this on a commercial website, I just want suggestions as to why he was signing this. He was born Ireland, had just finished time in the RN. First 3 children born in Devon, 1 in Dublin, Ireland then he moved to Tranmere where 1 child born, a couple years later he was back in Devon where became Prison Officer. Could he have been training there to become a prison officer or getting a dockyard job in the area? I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Thank you both for your help.
I had not noticed that Sarah Miller appeared on the other entries, also for the information link.
Is the Findmypast birth an actual record at the time of the birth? I will have a look for myself when I go to the library where we have free access but that will not be this week, I am asking because 2 of his ship's records state he was born September 1829 (no day given), the other I have gives a date in 1832 it is the same person, the list of previous ships prove this.
The family on the 1901 census could be related, but Lydia was born Adelaide Road, Dublin.
Thank you again for helping.

Dublin / Sailor in Dublin
« on: Friday 30 September 16 10:37 BST (UK) »
I found the birth of my great grandmother's sister on the Historic Civil Records which have recently become available.
She was born Adelaide Road, Dublin in 1865, her father Francis Cotter was a sailor.
The last ship I know he was on was the Gladiator, in 1860 he volunteered to complete for pension but I think his time was up in 1864. He was born in Union Hall c1829, married in Plymouth, Devon and had 3 children in that area so I am wondering why he might have taken is family to Dublin, they left the area before 1869 when his next child was born.
I wondered if anyone could help me will any suggestions?
