My friends - Today, we will resume our review of the vital statistics birth records for Marshall County in the period 1852-1859. In prior posts, we have worked our way up to 1855, and we will finish up a few stragglers in 1854 and then move into the year 1855. If you see a name of interest to you, and you would like the full data set for that birth(which usually includes the date of birth, sex of child if not obvious and the name of the father and maiden name of the mother), let me know and I will get that information to you. I have provided full data on a few names below that are very popular requests when they appear. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is highly appreciated. In this particular group of births, there are quite a number of given names missing for these children. This is often a sign of a stillbirth, or of a child that may have died soon after the birth, although that is not always the case - the person reporting the birth to the county clerk may simply have not written down the given name of the child, or the parents had no selected a given name by the time that the reporting party had left their presence. Tomorrow, we will move over to Graves County. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Marshall County Vital Statistics Records - Births - Part 15 (M)=Male (F)=Female Burge, Nedy B.
