The Common Room / Birth Registration
« on: Friday 18 November 16 16:03 GMT (UK) »
I want to order a copy of my aunt’s birth certificate. I think I have found the correct one except for the birth quarter which is given as the second quarter (2). She was born in March but the birth was not registered until April. So my question is, are the records organized by the event date or registration date?
Thanks Jessie
Thanks Jessie

Thanks Ken
If I’m looking at the correct 1881 census it gives his birth year as 1835 and birth place as Devonport, Devon.
The service record I’m looking at it gives his birth year as 1837 and birth place as St. Lukes, Middlesex, London.

Jebber thanks I live on the west coast of the USA so a trip to Kew will have to wait a while.
Ken thanks for the information. My Thomas Sullivan was born in London on 10 Aug 1837. He was married on Aug 20 1881 in Salford, Lancashire and is shown as a bachelor. His parents are Robert Sullivan and Elizabeth Cook. I have him on the 1841, 1851, 1891, 1901, and 1911 census. But not on the 1861, 1871, and 1881 census. On the 1911 census and his death certificate he is shown as an Army Pensioner.
Shaun thanks, it certainly sounds like something worth looking into.

Thanks for the reply Jebber.
Do you know if the muster books are available online or is a visit to Kew needed?
Jessie.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find more information on my great grandfather’s time in the Army. On his death certificate 1911 it states he was an Army pensioner. I’m 95% sure this is him.
From the service record 1760-1915 I have.
Name Thomas Sullivan
Service # 382
Attestation year July 1858
Regiment Lancashire Fusiliers – 20th Foot
Discharge Corps 2ND BN 20TH REG OF FOOT
Discharge Date July 1879
I don’t have the dates but from his service record he did serve abroad in China & Japan 3years 8 months, South Africa 3 years 3 months and Mauritius 1 year 4 months. Would he show on any census records and what documents would show his next of kin?
Thanks for any help
Jessie.

Hi Annette
What threw me off was in your original reply you gave Mary Ann’s birth as 1815 not 1814.

Thanks for the reply Annette.
The IGI record I’m looking at is an extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed not a member submitted one. I’m fairly sure the name and dates given are accurate.
