Banffshire / Have DOB from 1939 Register - still unable to locate birth registration
« on: Monday 02 November 15 11:15 GMT (UK) »
I have previously posted in this section in attempt to trace my GGGF Alexander Williams. I was having trouble finding out his DOB, however, thanks to the 1939 Register I have now got his DOB as 6 June 1868.
I have my GGGF history from 1891, when he lived in South Shields, Durham and then Tynemouth Northumberland but have not been able to locate his birth. The 1891, 1901 and 1911 census list him as being born in Banff, Scotland. I was hoping that with the release of the 1939 census I would easily be able to find his birth, however I am disappointed as I still cant.
I was hoping that my Alexander Williams was Alexander McWilliams (Grant) born illegitimate to Epeth (Elsie) McWilliam in Borham, Banffshire, unfortunately though they don't have the same birth date.
I wonder if anyone has a way where I can search for births in the Banffshire area on 6/6/1868 as it may be that he was illegitimate and was not born Alexander Williams, or even help me out with my search based on the information regarding his date of birth I have.
(please accept my apologies if I have duplicated as I am not sure of the correct process),
