Heir raising moment -spooky or what ?!?

[..claire..]

Hi all

I've been researching my OHs FT for some years now, but with a common surname and a broken family unit it has proved quite difficult at times.
However finding the death records of his Aunt and Uncles...I found this..

Florence L Moore died 5 JUNE (1961)... my son was born on this date
William C Moore died 2 MAY (1916)... my youngest son was born on this date
George Moore died 15 FEBRUARY (1941)...my daughter was born on this date.

So I have three siblings all dying on days that my children were born on, albeit my children were born much later.

How spooky !! 

Has this kind of thing ever happened to anyone else

Can't beat that Claire but I did discover my great grandparents married on my birthday 18 July which is rather sweet.   

I have Moore family as well including a Florence and a William so there's coincidence for you!

My mother-in-law's mother (who had died in 1930s) had the same birthday as me.

Not really a spooky moment, but my mum's closest and favourite cousin arranged her wedding on my mum's 21st birthday and asked her to be bridesmaid.  Imagine a seriously annoyed young woman not able to be the centre of attention on her own 21st birthday!

The spooky part is that  a few years later my aunt's first child was born on my dad's birthday and my eldest sibling was born on my aunt's husband's birthday.

Maybe not spooky but my husband and 2 kids were all born on the 8th of the month (different months).

I was and still am a great Elvis fan and my oldest, a son, was born on 8th January same date as my idol.

The saddest and maybe the spooky one was that my dad passed away on my birthday.

That's very sad Dorrie ,

I was going to say the phrase 'keeping it in the family' comes to mind, but it means something completely different  ...... but the theme tune to the "Twilight Zone" keeps popping in my head.

Also not spooky...

My husband and I share a birthday albeit we are a year apart in age, our sister-in-law also has her birthday on the same day....

Thanks Claire. Dad was exactly 88years and 8months old so he had a good innings. Number 8 relevant again in my immediate family.

Not so sad now that my mum has passed too. We make it a double "celebration" and raise a glass to him and myself.

Dorrie..I think that's a lovely thing to do, I suppose everyone here has similar stories, where would we be without them
