The Common Room / the Legitimacy act of 1926
« on: Monday 21 February 22 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
Wondering if anyone is familiar with this act. I understand it was designed so that a couple who had a child out of wedlock could legitimize that child when they married. I am wondering if it could also be used when a couple marries and the woman had a child out of wedlock but not with that same man she is marrying and the man she is marrying wants to put his name as father. I have an instance where someone who was born in 1927 has a new birth certificate issued in 1931 and it says issued under that act. This couple married in 1929 but we believe that the mans name on the 1931 certificate was not her biological father. Does anyone know if this act could be used in this way. Thanks, Roberta

Hi, I am looking for the marriage of William Bennett and Cate Twomey. They had a daughter Ellenor Bennett .She was baptised Nov 18, 1826 in East Schull. I have been unable to find their marriage. Also I would be interested in anyone with a connection to this family as I am trying to determine if Ellenor Bennett is my ancestor who came to Canada in 1850 and Married Henry Eames in york County ontario. Thanks, retire

Northumberland / burials in holy trinity churchyard berwick upon tweed
« on: Sunday 03 May 20 22:47 BST (UK)  »
can anyone tell me who to contact to find the location of a certain headstone in this cemetery. I am looking for Christopher Redpath and his wife Isabella. She died in 1792 and he in 1808. I believe there are others buried in the same grave but are not on the headstone. I have been told that the last letter (H) of redpath is not well visible but the rest of the name is. The person who told me this could not find the info as to location of the headstone. Thanks, Roberta

Is anyone researching this family? There was a Christopher Redpath married to isabella (his second wife) He was a shoemaker in B upon T.  I believe they they died and are buried there in a churchyard. Does anyone have access to the burial records of the church there? I think there is an Ann Wilson (nee Redpath) and her husband Alexander Wilson buried there also. thanks, Retire
