I am looking for my Grandmother's birth record. According to the 1911 census she was born in plumstead infirmary. Her birth year is 1884. Her name was Mary Connolly, that is what shows on her marriage certificate, Her Father was John and was a sweep. Thank you Pat from Canada

Hi Pat If her birth was as stated it should be registered in Woolwich but I don't see one 1883 to 1885 Neither do I find her in 1911 , was she married by then? Can you give the 1911 census reference and any other census year references if you have them Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >I am looking for my Grandmother's birth record.

Dear Pat, As you may already have found there was no female Connolly registered in 1884 in the Woolwich registration district which was where Plumstead infirmary births would have been registered. Do you have any other confirmation that her father's name is John - that she was with him on previous censuses? How certain are you of the year of birth? Could you give us any more information to help trace her? Anne On 4 Nov 2011, at 13:21, pat & phil wrote: > I am looking for my Grandmother's birth record.
