Birth time

[Nickoline Dardis]

Hi How do I find out the time of my birth. I was born at home in kells in December 1964.

The time of birth usually only appears on the birth certificates of twins, and other multiple births.

Can you not ask your parents?

[Milliepede]

Whereabouts is kells?

Maybe a grandparent or other relative would remember the happy event?

[Nickoline Dardis]

If asking parents was an option I would have taken that. ? ???thats why i asked here is there any other way i could find this out. thanking you

Welcome to Rootschat, Nickoline. Lots of the members here will have no idea of where Kells is but I'm taking a guess that it might be in Ireland? If so, there are 3 towns of the name (Antrim, Kilkenny and Meath) as well as several townlands called Kells.

Do you have a copy of your birth certificate? full copy (with names of parents, etc.) not the short one.

If it's not on your birth certificate and you were born at home- was there a doctor or midwife in attendance who might have made a note of the time?

And on Scottish birth certificates.

I do recognise the "need to know" about the time of birth 

I was born at the end of May in 1942 and I understand that, at the time, there was some doubt as to which date should be attributed to my arrival.  It was "double summer time" and so I assume that I was born somewhere around midnight   

BUT, I'm here and still causing chaos
