just updating

I've been asking some questions and this lady wasn't in the ATS at all, she worked in a hospital in London with her sister Gladys and they both caught TB it was caught early and they both recovered, Catherine some days earlier than Gladys, Catherine left the hospital and Gladys hasn't seen or heard frm her since .Gladys was still alive and living in a nursing home in Middlesbrough in 2006/7.

kicking this up again

can anyone find out if she did marry or died in WW2 please

I know I know I've been lazy and just recieved the cert. this morning

it says Catherine Harris was born 13/12/1916
parents Robert Chisholm & Hannah Mary
they lived 20 Grosvenor Road Urmston


now maybe we can find out if she got married or died in WW2.

your right Sam,
I just literally got a slap from my mum :o), my grandad was born 10th Septmber 1914 and died 28th September 1995,
Lesley.

Name: Leslie Chisholm Harris
Birth Date: 10 Sep 1914 <<<<<<<<<<
Death Registration Month/Year: Sep 1995
Age at death (estimated): 81
Registration district: Central Cleveland
Inferred County: Cleveland
Register number: B48
District and Subdistrict: 3481B

You have your grandad's date of birth wrong, he was born in 1914, not 1916. Then Catherine in 1916/1917 and Gladys in 1918:

Hi Dee,
I've spoken to my mum this morning and she told me that Katherine is either one year younger than my grandad or one year older than Gladys, which would make her birth date 19/12/1915 0r 19/12/1917 and not 1916, and I might of mixed up Katherine and Gladys birthday's which would mean Katherine's birthday would be 13/12/1915/16 or 17,
just to add to the muddle lol, will sort the birth cert. today if I can.
Lesley.

well I'll be back in about a week :-),

Hi Lesley,

all you need is the Volme number which is 8c and the page number 981, and name of child and district which is Barton upon Irwell and the month and year, March 1917.

You can order online at The General Register, tick the little box to say you know the area/district or they'll charge you more than the £7.00. Takes about 1 week to arrive.

Dee xx

how do I get a birth certificate without a date of birth ??
don't think I've come across this absticale before,
L.

Lesley if you do get her birth cert and the date of birth is different ie. not the 19th come back and hopefully we may pick something definate up.

Take care, Dee xx

your right about the registering of the birth and your most probly right about the M being for Mary after her mum too, thankyou so much for all your help, just baffled now cos' grandad idolised Katherine or Peggy as he called her and just wish she's got in touch after the war !!
thankyou so much Lesley.

The details for her birth I found earlier in the thread, here you go;

Births Mar 1917 (>99%)

Harris Catherine M Bedingfield Barton I. 8c 981


Remember her birth would most probably have been registered after christmas.

I'm presuming the intial M is for Mary after her mother.

my grandad died in 1995 and that date is he told me maybe he got mixed up, I can't say really, but it's the only sibling I can't get a birth certificate for ??
L.

I've looked at CWGC and couldn't find a death for her during the war, however if she did marry after seeing your Grandfather then there's something we couldn't rule out.

Hi Lesley,

are you 100% sure about her birth date?? is it definately 19th December.

Just don't want to miss anything.

Dee x

so it's possible she didn't die during the war?
