The Lighter Side / Adoption
« on: Tuesday 15 August 23 21:40 BST (UK)  »
Initially a baby who is adopted is registered with names of birth parents.

If adopted is the baby registered again with the names of the parents who adopted him/her ?

If not are the adoptive parents given or do they have access to the original Birth Certificate?

re Hospital Records  --  slightly o/t

My father was held in a Mental Hospital in the 1960's.  Accessed his records a few years ago.  There was no record of him having had ECT - these records 'removed.'  He definitely had sessions of ECTs my mother recalls having to sign for him to have ECT on a number of occasions. Also recalls visiting him when shortly after he had had ECT.
Still a lot of controversy about ECT - I guess that's why records removed.

So when applying for records try to ensure you get the whole lot.

JOHN THOMAS DA(O)RRINGTON baptised Tydd St Giles 14 Sept 1852 - son of Susan Da(o)rrington.

no birth certificate found.

In J1855 Susan Da(o)rrington married William Harrison in Wisbech Cambs.

On the 1861 census living at Walpole St Peters

William Harrison 32 Ag lab b West Walton Norfolk
Susan Harrison 27 b Whittlesey Cambs
Mary Harrison dau 5 b.Walpole St Peters
Elizabeth dau 3                 ''
Joseph son 1                    ''

My question -  Where was JOHN THOMAS DA(0)RRINGTON in the census of 1861 ?And where was he in 1871 1nd 1881 ?

I have the Harrison family in 1871 in Walpole St Peter - no sign of John Thomas Da(o)rrignton.

A John Thomas Darrington died S1861 (after 1861 census) in St Ives 3b 160 - don't know if this is the one born in Tydd St Giles in 1852.

Thanks.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: private baptism 1799

Thirty five years ago my nephew was baptised immediately after birth by the Hospital  - not expected to survive.
He did but a request for him to be baptised at his local Chapel some months later was rejected as 'you cant' be baptized twice.'
Things may have been different in1799.

Canada Lookup Request / Cost of Death Certificate
« on: Wednesday 31 May 23 08:49 BST (UK)  »
Have just received a copy of a basic Death Certificate which gives date of death - marital status - place of death of relative who died in St Catharine.  (I am UK based.)
Enquired about getting a full Certificate giving cause of Death and full address and been quoted a charge of $5270.
Surely that can't be right ??
