David11000 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"There was no requirement to show the mother's place of birth on an English birth certificate and I've never seen it done, and disagree that it was “often” shown. There's no provision for this sort of detail on the…"
barbara1948 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"Often the place of birth of the mother and the name and address of the informant are provided--was none of this information provided on the birth certificate or was it the same as the information that you obtained from the military records?

I'm not sure where Alma Rd was either but assume it was somewhere in London, probably near or in Islington. She would not have been…"
smittendot12 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"Yes thank you. I did order a copy of the birth certificate some time ago and have received it so at least I have that.

smittendot12 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"Unfortunately I don't know. They seem to have kept the name she was given by her birth mother (Dorothy) and added the Beatrice after they adopted her and changed her surname to Smitten. I guess this was all done without benefit…"
smittendot12 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"I had thought of doing something like that in the future. What sort of information do you obtain when you do DNA testing and how would it be able to trace my biological grandparents especially when I only know the name of my biological…"
barbara1948 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"Hi Linda:
In terms of tracing your biological grandparents, have you considered doing DNA testing? I am a member of ISOGG (International Society of Genetic Genealogists) and would be happy to share information on some of the options available…"
David11000 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"Your tree shows her as having a middle name Beatrice. When does this first appear?"
David11000 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"That's the vital bit of information!

smittendot12 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"I have one more snippit of information. Ellen Barrett's age is stated as 36 in the infirmary records which means she must have been born around 1876."
smittendot12 replied to smittendot12's discussion Henry Richardson father of Annie Lilian Richardson b 1869 in the group London Genealogy"Yes thanks you have the correct Annie just can't find anything prior to her marriage. Very frustrating.
