Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 153 Send Message	I have my Grandmothers marriage certificate, and BMDs for all her 8 children. With most document of hers , that states her age, gives her a different year of birth when working backwards. A variance of 5 years. Her maiden name was Brown (Margaret). She married James Casey in Liverpool -29/71903. Her age is given as 21. The 1911 census page states that Margaret is 26, and has been married for 8 years. Eight from 26 gives marriage at age 18. This suggests Y.O.B as 1885. Her first born arrived in November 1903--So she was 5 months pregnant at time of marriage. Many people gave a false age back then. HOW--can I ---for sure, find the right Margaret Brown's Birth certificate? There are a great many, and i have bought two wrong 'uns already. She was widowed in 1918, remarried 29/ 8/1942, to James Goodwin, and died 16/5/ 1950 in Liverpool. The GR search system does not allow for change of name through two marriages to death. Thank you all. Arfermo.
