Looking for birthdate of Dorothy Alice Carter
« on: Sunday 18 December 16 21:29 GMT (UK) »
Doing some family tree research for my Aunt, and trying to find out about her mother.  I'm sure she was born in Iklesham, E.Sussex, but not sure exactly when.  Should be around 1898.  Any help appreciated
THanks

That's great news.  Thanks everyone so far.  Do you think there is any possibility of me finding the exact birthdate?  I'd say it's likely that the Free BmD search that Groom found is correct, i.e. Sep 1897, but would there be anywhere that would have the exact date in September or would it have just been recorded by month?  The baptism listed by the Icklesham St Nicholas Parish (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSN1-W81)  presumably had the birth record also.
I mean, where did the scan on FreeBmD come from: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?r=97635234:2599&d=bmd_1479781955, and in what publication does Vol 2b, page 6 refer to?  Presumably if I can find that document, it may have the exact date in it?

Thanks

Dorothy's birth was registered in the September Quarter of 1897 so could have occurred in July, August or September. Indeed, as you had up to 42 days to register a birth, she could even have been born in late May or June. The references 2b page 6 are for the volume and page in the Rye birth register for Sep quarter 1897 which includes Dorothy's birth certificate. You can apply to the General Register Office ( gro.gov.uk) for a copy of the birth certificate using this reference. I think the certificate costs £9.25. This will include her exact date of birth.
