The Common Room / Same birth registered twice - 6 years apart!!!
« on: Sunday 09 September 18 22:19 BST (UK) »
Really odd one guys. I will be getting both certs later this week, but would like some thoughts on this. No names though given that people are alive.
Just started my step-daughter's tree today (she's 15, it's her biological father's side - he has no contact). Her paternal grandfather popped over and gave as much detail as he could and it's allowed me to jump back a few generations on his dad's side, but he said his mum never talked about her family.
He mentioned that his parents had a daughter a few years older than him, but she was put up for adoption.
His mum was married previously, and he has a few older half-brothers. One is still alive.
I searched for his birth - found it - then did the normal search under both parents surnames just in case his sister's birth was there (I know adoptions aren't, but I was hoping it might not have been a formal adoption).
This is the odd but. His birth is there in 1962, but the exact same details are registered in 1968 too - his combination of names, combined with his parents surnames, strikes me as way more than a coincidence.
Looking for their marriage, I found it in 1968. I have possibly found a marriage for his father in 1959 that he isn't aware of, but to a completely different woman!!!!
Any thoughts? I haven't discussed it with him, and he clearly isn't aware of any of this.
I can't imagine that he's six years younger than he thinks he is, but I'm at a loss as to a rational explanation
