George and Mary Butler
« on: Tuesday 23 May 17 14:27 BST (UK) »
Rather confused about dates.

George Butler born 1883 Bristol, married Mary Grace Richards born 1886 Bristol, in 1914.

Now the confusion, According to the GRO Record site Mary's birth was registered in 1886, and George's birth was registered in 1883.  But according to FindMyPast 1939 register Mary was born on the 21st October 1887, and George was born on the 20th February 1886.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are the births registered in the correct quarter? 

Are the numbers written clearly in the 39 register?

Ages and birthdays were often out of line and those aren't far off so I wouldn't worry too much.

Some people didn't know or remember exactly how old they were, others fudged their ages for whatever reason.

Hi,

If you don't mind me asking, are you sure that the George that married Mary Grace RICHARDS was born in 1883?

I can see that in 1939 he was an engineer, in 1911 there was a engineer called George BUTLER which would match this one in 1901,


1901  RG13/2350  f.39  p.33  Kingswood, Gloucestershire  (Registration district: Keynsham)
Pows RD

BUTLER
John       Head    43    Hawker          Beverstone
Julia        Wife     42       
Martha     Daur    21    Tree boots in Boot factory
George     Son    15    Copper Smith
Nellie        Daur    12   
Blanche    Daur     7
Julia and all the children born in Kingswood.

All the children have the mmn STONE.


John BUTTER marries Julia STONE in 1878,

John BUTTER    Dec Q 1878    Keynsham    5c  1115 
Julia STONE


Birth
George BUTLER    Jun Q 1886    KEYNSHAM    5c  653
mmn:  STONE




Mary's death matches the birth registration,

Mary Grace Butler    Jun 1977    Bristol    22  0349
DOB:  20 Oct 1886

so it looks like she just lost a year in 1939 :)


Do you have a marriage cert. to know who George's father was?


Regards,
Daisy
