The birth is TERESA, and is not in dispute

Just for clarification (or confusion ?) -

Joanie - you say Teresa was born 4/3/1938.

Her death record says 4/3/38 - and spells her name Tereasa.

(the transcription of her burial record calls her Teresa Huskinson, but the image has Teresa Huskison.)

On the image of the 1939 Register, it seems to have been written first as 2 Mar 1938 (the day is hard to see as it's partly obscured by blotting of ink from the opposite page) .

Then it's been amended to 16/8/1938.
FMP's transcription (already posted) of 1939 Register gives that revised date.

Ancestry's transcription says 3 Mar 1938 (and the 2 does look as if it could be a 3, because of the blotting).



Not that any of those dates helps to find her birth record!

With Margaret being born 02/04/1937, an August would seem a little more feasible. Not that it helps.

THIS is the birth

Births Jun 1938 (>99%)
Smith Teresa Smith Nelson 8e 228

If only the 1939 register is being relied on and no birth certificates have been got for any of the older children for proof of their named mother then Lilian Smith may not have been Lilian Heslop but a second wife.?

Joanie has Teresa's birth cert - AND James William's as per her posts

Joanie said (7 June, 17:23 ) -
".I sent for that cert the SMITH / Nelson one and it was wrong"

Margaret's birth in 1937 was definitely MMN Hesslop - and Joanie clearly stated that Lilian died in the 1940's

I thought Joanie said at some stage that the MMN was wrongly recorded on Teresa's birth reg'n. Perhaps she deleted that snippet - or edited it. Or I need to go to Specsavers

This is her death - mentioned before, I know!

Heslop Teresa Tempest Haslingden 8e 134

That's a bit random, Malyon, I fear.

The parents of that child:

Marriages Dec 1925 (>99%)
Heslop William Tempest Haslingden 8e 237
Tempest Harriet J Heslop Haslingden 8e 237

They're together in 1939 , in Bacup, with daughters Catherine and Mary, and three closed records

Hardly feasible to post a birth in a different district in exactly the same qtr as Margaret's

Marriages Sep 1925 (>99%)
Smith William H Heslop Sunderland 10a 1252

from the OPENING post

I did find a marriage : Elizabeth E Heslop Sept 1925 Sunderland 10a 1262 to a William H Smith, dates would fit, got the cert but not them.…

Thank you Malyon will check that out. X

The three certs I have got are : James first born this is correct....second was Teresa born Nelson this was not her...third was Marriage William H Smith and Elizabeth E Heslop this was not them....Teresa Smith married Gerard Huskisson.

When looking on the 1939 register William and Lilian have same birthday except year and Teresa’ s isn’t right according to her daughter. On James birth certificate it says Lilian made her mark X, maybe she wasn’t good with writing and numbers and gave wrong ones in ?

Sorry I was not on earlier Folks but our old cat 16 was attacked by three Staffordshire terriers and we have been to vets and looking after her......she is as well as can be expected god bless her x

I hope your cat recovers well, Joanie.

You said that William and Lilian's DOB's were the same apart from year.
No, not quite.
William's is 26 July, and Lilian's is 24 July.

Years of birth are quite often wrong on the 1939 Register, but days and months tend to be more often correct.
However, it's possible as you suggest, that one or both of them weren't sure what their DOB was. Lilian was obviously illiterate.

Do you know exact year Lilian died. and where?
