Family History Beginners Board / Re: Birth certificate.
« on: Monday 04 February 19 14:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hello again,
I receives Margaret Wilson's birth certificate from the GRO this morning. Unfortunately it is just a copy of the Royal Artillery record, and does not give any details of her mothers Maiden name. No date of birth either just her baptism date. I guess its back to the records I do have, and follow up again more of the suggestions given by you all.
Incidentally tried to register with ancestryireland.com this morning and could not get past the enter a user name stage.  :(

Thank you for that Josey, I will follow up on the information on William and also look at the previous post's information about Ballincollig. On the birth of Mary Kennedy, on the Civil Marriage record I have for her in 1850 her age is given as 17, so I suppose she could have been even younger. Still waiting for Margaret Wilson's Birth certificate which could be Monday next week.

Hi,
I had this with my Gran, she was 10 years older than my Grandad, but on her marriage certificate she had reduced that difference to 4 years. Probably she didn't want people to know how much older than him she was.
Another problem I had from an actual marriage certificate, was the wrong name given for my great grandfather's father, so spent years looking for the wrong person, and so was unable to find my great grandfather's birth.
It wasn't until the 1891 census came out that gave his correct place of birth that I  was able to trace his father with a completely different name. Even the census returns had the wrong place of birth up until then......

Thank you for that information Josey.
I will  have look on the rootsireland site for their births, and find my past for the military records. Had a subscription for them which I think is still in date.

Hi again,
yes I had seen the records of Williams children on the Royal Artillery sheet. I also noticed a difference between 1850 and 1858 as the marriage and assumed that was a mistake. Hadn't noticed Ellen/Allen though!
Enthused by all the help you lovely people gave me, I found a Civil marriage record of William Wilson and Mary Kenedy (one 'n') in Tamnaficarbet Parish of Seagoe. William is 20 and Mary is 17. Williams occupation is given as a Labourer, and his father a Mathew Wilson, Mary's Father a John Kennedy. Both parents labourers.
So I suppose this means William joined the Royal Artillery afterwards. Unfortunately it seems enlistment details are at the GRO or Kew, and the Royal Artillery depot is relocating and their records cannot be accessed until at least 2020.
Am unable to find either Mathew Wilson or John Kennedy at present.

Thank you everyone, can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me.
I have ordered the certificate from the GRO with the reference you gave, and I will let you know if Margarets mothers surname is given. (Hope so!)
If it is the next on the list will be William's marriage, if not will have to try one of Margaret's younger siblings.

Thank you all.

Than you so everyone for your rapid replies and suggestions.

Perhaps I should have explained that Margarets father William was in the Royal Artillery. I have details of older and younger children born in various places on a military baptism sheet.
One of Margaret's younger brothers gives his mothers name as Mary Kennedy, but am not sure if she was Williams second wife and not Margarets mother.
I didn't realise there were no birth certificates for the year of her birth.

Family History Beginners Board / Birth certificate.
« on: Monday 28 January 19 15:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I have the details of my ancestor Margaret Wilson's baptism at Ballincollig, Ireland in 1859. She was the daughter of William Wilson RA and Mary his wife. Her birth date is given as 20 June 1859.

Please can anyone advise me on how to obtain her birth certificate. As I do not know her mothers maiden name! I cannot progress further back with her family tree.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Pearsews, Scotland
