Title: birth for Kathleen Grant/derry city
Post by: advent on Wednesday 01 July 15 14:34 BST (UK)
I am desperately seeking to find the birth records of a Kathleen Grant- Father John Grant born in either Derry or Donegal 1905/1913. Her death records in 1943 stated that she was 30(born around 1913) but I believe that she may have been a few years older than that. Can anyone help please I would appreciate so much.

Hi, when you say "Father John Grant born in either Derry or Donegal 1905/1913" - what is that based on?

When you say "Her death records in 1943 stated that she was 30(born around 1913) but I believe that she may have been a few years older than that." - what is that based on?

It's difficult to reply on such slim pickings, do you have any additional information?

It's possible her birth was registered as (or she appeared in census records) as another form of Kathleen such as Catherine, Katherine, etc.

Did she marry? if so, what are the details on that certificate?

From a baptism I've seen, the parents in this census return look like John Grant and Mary Doherty, with a possible civil marriage in 1896 registered as John Granny.

you could most likely ignore the 1913 birth for Kathleen  mothers name McDaid.
Matthew Grant married Rose McDaid ,Inishowen,26th Jan 1908 and appear to have had son's William Dec 1908 and Michael Nov 1910.
Michael or Mick age 6 months in 1911
