Annie Kathleen McCauley

Marriage certificates don’t usually give a date of birth - just an age or ‘full’.
Was the date of birth written on the civil and/or church certificate?

Yes I am wondering where the date of 24/12 came from?

Confirming that Cassie is a diminutive of Catherine.

Kathleen’s age is given on her marriage and death certificates which match with the day, month, year given on the 1939 registration (census) document.

Her birth date came from the (Hampshire) 1939 registration (Census) document and matches the age given on her marriage and death certificates.
Thanks

Hi Steve,

Yes I can see that re the age in 1939.
It has been mentioned though that it was on her marriage certificate - date not age.

I am not saying that this latest find is Annie.

However, it does happen that people alter their age, for example, if the woman is older than the man, it seemed to matter more in the past.

Are you a relative or the same Steve under another name?

Hi same Steve
Just resurrected an old account on Rootschat as i am working away and didn't have login details. Her marriage certificate does indeed only have her age, my mistake. What is interesting is her father (deceased) occupation is down as coal merchant which ties in nicely with previous replies!

Yes it does on one certificate at least.
The birthdate is also similar apart from the year.
Really, you would have to see if Cassie marries etc so she could be discounted.

Or work from dates in the Military file when that arrives.  It may have a place of birth or posting location rather than a speculative 'Donegal'.

Yes, good point shanreagh.
Let’s hope it does
