Hi everyone,
I need some help. Im trying to find the info that would be on my grandmothers birth certificate but there seems to be some confusion over many things. :(
On her marriage license it says
Ada Elizabeth Goss
Born in Brixton
She was born 20Dec1895 (from obituary)
BUT...
her obituary says she was born in Bushey, Hertfordshire (christening maybe?)
My cousin says it might have been Hendon, Middlesex
AND
my cousin also says it might be under Ada Elizabeth White as somewhere along the way the family name changed from White to Goss....
So,
her father could either be under George Luke Goss (or White)
and her mother was Ada Maria Page
I have search all of the above and have not been able to find info about her birth.
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

You wont be able to see the details on a birth cert without buying it.
I cant see a registration for an Ada Elizabeth Goss at that time.
There are lots of Ada Elizabeth Whites, incl this one in Hendon Regsitration District:
Jan/Feb/Mar 1896
Hendon ref 3a 193
Ada Elizabeth White
If she was born Dec 1895, then likely she was registered after the New Year!
I'll look to see if I can see her in 1901 census
-
Yea, I had seen that one and wondered about it. I am happy to order a birth cert for her but I need the right details first.
Thanks for helping

I cant see one in 1901 under either name with those parents. Or anything else that fits , other than:
RG13 52 51 14
Nazareth House
Hammersmith
Aga Goss age 6 bn London * modified some days later - just seen typo! Should read Ada Goss!
it is some sort of institution.
Re: the cert - you wont know if it is the 'right' one till you order it! And you cant see what's on it in advance.
-
Ok, my friend is at the archive center now I think. Lets see what he finds.
Im trying to apply for UK work visa based on ancestry and need her birth cert to do that. :-\ But this is proving a bit difficult with the different names and stuff.
Thanks again

It is Ada Goss. Nazareth House was a convent, home for aged and infirm, and destitute children.

I doubt that was her as both her parents and her huge number of siblings immigrated to Canada in 1906.

Can you tell us the names, and if pos years of birth, of the siblings?
Still cant find the family in 1901.

This is what info you would expect to find on an English or Welsh birth cert.
