Thanks Shane.

It looks like they were married before his birth

Hello shanew,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, I have asked before but, there has been so much confusion with dates, places, and family.

I apologise for the duplication.

I hope you understand the circumstances.

Regards,

David.

no problem - best to get that cert, and that marriage that heywood posted the references for and see if it all fits together.

Hello Shane,

We are going to order the birth certificate for Robert Conkie.  It is correct.

We have the marriage certificate of George Conkie and Jane Thorburn Borthwick.

Reading it before we only saw the date of 1916 at the bottom of the certificate..  This was a witness thing at the bottom of the certificate.  When it was sent from a local parish church to Chester.  The actual date of the marriage was August 29th 1912 after reading it again.

We didn't notice the proper date of marriage.  Till now !!.

How daft are we ?

Once again apologies to you and heywood.

David.
