Hi Ann-Marie,

Could you give us ALL the info from that birth cert please.

You say the mother's maiden name is Arnott but is there a first name etc?

Is there an address?

Thanks,

Dea x

EDIT - Do you also have your father's marriage cert to see if he named a 'father' on there??

Yes Dea,
I have realised that this one is far too young after all

That is a very interesting though GlasgowLass and you could well have something there !

She is still VERY young though to be the twins' mother...

Thinking outside the box here...

Could her name have been Sarah Isabel Arnott ?
Affectionately known as" Sarah Bell" Arnott ?

The OP though says Sarah Bell b 1910 which is puzzling though

A possibility is that IF that 1915 death was the husband of Sarah Arnott nee Bell then she may have gone on to have two children after his death.

If she registered them in her (at the time) correct name of Arnott but did not give a father's name then the maiden name of Arnott could have been assumed by the registrar. I know some widows who had illegitimate children named their late husband as the father but perhaps respect for him prevailed?

That middle name of Reize may be a clue .....

possible death

Hello

I have recently started to trace my Family tree, and have already hit a brick wall.

I am hoping that someone can help me trace Sarah Bell who I believe is my Grand Mother. Born in 1910 In Northumberland. My Father was Thomas George Reize Arnott born in 1917 in Northumberland Newcastle Upon Tyne with his twin Mona Reize Arnott. The maiden name on the birth certificate just states Arnott.

I believe that Sarah Bell was my Grand Mother, as another family member has an old photo with this name on the back, but unfortunately no other details. I believe that she had other children later ( Doris Ronnie Kathleen and Margaret) under the surname Scott.

I would really appreciate any help, or guidance pointing in the right direction.

Thank you Ann-Marie Butcher nee Arnott.
