I would appreciate some help on interpreting the mothers names on a birth certificate. It gives the mother as: Hannah Foster late Malow formerly Sheldon. Should I take this to be a widow Malow who married a Foster and whose original name was Sheldon? I would also like to congratulate Sandwell Registration Office; I posted my request for this certificate on Monday this week and it arrived on Wednesday! Regards Peter Wharton

Hi Peter I think it does mean she was married twice , but check the West Midlands Site for marriages and if she was marriage before it will give you the names Sandwell Registration office is great and Alan who works there is always ready to help and advice a really nice and helpful man Cassy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Wharton" <peter@wharton-family.org> To: <ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:53 AM Subject: [B.C.] Names on birth certificate >I would appreciate some help on interpreting the mothers names on a birth > certificate.
