Family History Beginners Board / Re: No birth certificate that I can find
« on: Saturday 20 April 24 15:07 BST (UK) »Something like thatQuoteMy father-in-law once took a trip up to Sommerset house to try to find a birth cert (I think for his pension) but could not find one so took one for where the father was a gentleman farmer.
So if I understand this correctly, Colin got the birth certificate of John Jacques born 24 October 1890 (even though his father was born 15 October 1891) and used that 24 October birth date when giving information on his father's death in 1978? Also falsely stating that his father was 78 when he was actually 86?

First of all thank you all for your input into the research.
I am certain of the death dates as I went to his funeral. The marriage cert was supplied by his son Colin (Dick) Jacques my father-in-law (deceased).
The army stuff is very interesting and I will pursue. But you can see my problems as there is no definitive records. My father-in-law once took a trip up to Sommerset house to try to find a birth cert (I think for his pension) but could not find one so took one for where the father was a gentleman farmer. All I know about him is he was gassed in the trenches and worked down the mines. I did have a pint in his local pub with him once but never questioned him. I think maybe a trip up to the registrar office of Barnsley might be in order.

« on: Thursday 18 April 24 17:35 BST (UK) »There's a Royal Artillery attestation record which suggests he was called up from the reserve for a brief period in the spring of 1921 - army number 1009722. It's possible that his service records were retained by the MoD and may still exist.

Yes I have him in the 1891 as 1 years (estimate).
His son John Edwin Jacques died on the HMS Dunedin 24-11-1941 where they lived in Frimley Green, Surrey.
On his death cert 4-6-1978 it states date & place of birth 24th October 1890, Wakefield Yorks.
But as stated before he states in 1921 census Barnsley!
No I haven't discounted John Jaques Barnsley 1895 as I never found that one (thanks)
I have gone with his parents as Jonathan and Sarah Jane but no-one in the family (that's left) knows.

I am at a 'brick wall'. On my wife's side of the family I cannot find any record of birth of her grandfather John Henry Jacques.
We are not sure where he was born the only thing we have to go on is on the 1921 census he has entered Birth Place Barnsley Yorkshire. We have his Army number 73739.
On his marriage cert 12 April 1917, he states he is 25yrs old, and his wife Lilian Street is listed as 30yrs old but 3 years later on the 1921 census she is 36 and he is 29yrs 8mths?
His father is listed as John Jacques (Deceased) on the wedding cert.
I have been going around in circles looking and don't know where else to look.
Can you help please.
