Hi Listers Is it common that mother's on birth certificates from the 1890's are only identified by their name but not address or birthdate? or do I have a shortened format. Otherwise I have a name shared by many others at that time.

Hi Ken, The full certificates that I have give the date of birth, the address of the birth, name of the baby and the name and maiden name of the mother. I've never seen one that gave the mother's age, that's on marriage certificates.

Thanks Pete, thats what I have except there is no father listed (illegitimate birth) so it hard to triangulate - father - marriage -mother, I must have five likely candidates who could be the mother and without a birthdate or something factual to help identify her it becomes an educated guess, a genealogist nightmare.
