davidft,

quite often a local bmd will have a december birth as such in the year preceding... and the GRO indexes will show a 1st quarter listing....  this often indicates the birth happened between 25th December and 1st of January but the GRO puts the cert as 1st quarter....

have rec'd copy of the marriage cert and the surname is Falquith -  sorry my error just noticed I spelt it with a g rather than a q -  now corrected

how do I add a photo, does it have to be stored on a website

I think Wolfie has solved the mystery at message #9 and the name should be Farquhar.

There is a birth registration in 1840 in South shields for Ann Farquhar. Her parents are James and Alison and come from Scotland

and this is how Anne signed her name

[davidft]

Well it looks like the clerk wrote the name as far as he could understand it from Ann's accent and she signed her name from that. By this time both her parents were deceased I think.

This would be her birth registration.
