Find Ancestors

Many thanks

There seems to be very little online about Bermuda genealogy - no BMDs as such.

There's this info from the Bermuda National Library:

Indexes & Certificates of Births, Marriages, Deaths

All births, marriages and deaths in Bermuda should
have been registered with the local registrar.
Information about Bermuda’s Registry General can be
found at: http://www.registrygeneral.gov.bm/.
Members of the public may search the Birth, Marriage
and Death records at the Public Search Facility,
located on the 1st floor of the Government
Administration Building, Hamilton, on payment of an
hourly fee.

Well guys I think you have sorted it and I thank you all very much for your help and time and I will study all your information over the next few days as my brain is a bit frazzled.
Many Thanks

DOB's on 1939 register aren't always correct.

Human error in writing the date, or misinformation.

Argy11Gran

His m cert of 1912 has him as 25 which makes born 1887.
Could the 1939 reg be wrong even with the day written?
I'm getting confused.

Looks like John Peter has thrown a spanner in the works, I have to go over all the responses slowly to hopefully resolve.

He joined in 1899 and served on several vessels

His reason for leaving is given as RUN !!

So seems he deserted

Note his birth day and month agrees with the 1939 reg but the year is 1882 not 1884

Argy11Gran
I see your point.
I am led by 1939 reg with John William born 29th Oct 1884
His M cert of 1912 with father Thomas.
The 1911 cens with Thomas and wife, same address as m cert.
