The Common Room / Re: late (13 months!) birth registration?
« on: Monday 04 September 23 02:37 BST (UK) »
From memory, from copies of some certs I've had over the years, if it was a re-registration it would be signed 'on the authority of the registrar general' or words to that effect. If it was registered after 42 days after the birth I think it was similar wording or signed by two registrars.
I'd say it's more likely the wrong year of birth has been entered on the GRO return.

Yes he was just referred to as 'a miner'. I'll see if I can attached a copy of the article.

United States of America / Helping finding an article in The Workingman's Advocate PA 1873
« on: Friday 17 February 23 03:20 GMT (UK) »
There's article in The Workingman's Advocate, Philadelphia, PA 26/07/1873 (page 4) which is a letter sent to the paper from a miner in Nvesville, Rockville Parke County, Indiana. In it he refers to a previous letter he has sent. I've tried various different search terms but can't seem to find anything, although I realise it possible his previous letter was never published.
Can anyone see anything?
Thanks
Jay
