The transcription on findmypast of Violet's birth is inaccurate. The image is very clearly DOW.

I have sent a correction through to findmypast

This site copies its info from findmypast.

A better place to look for info is freebmd, as mentioned earlier - especially as it is FREE

Jake,

A good site for beginners and FREE is the freefbd site

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Searching there is best done using fewer facts rather than too many.

If you put in BARTLETT and DOW and search marriages, there is a possible marriage match in the Cardiff area. It fits with your given date for your Nanna's birth, but the only way to confirm facts is ...
Start with what you know and work back.

If your nanna's birth certificate shows her parents to be Charles BARTLETT and Annie E DOW, then Austin has suggested a possible marriage.

You will need to buy THAT certificate to research back from them. Hopefully their father's names will be shown, with occupations and they should be able to be found on 1911 census records.

Alright peeps, I feel my dyslexics getting in the way here, and what im trying to say isn't making it into my post im going to break it down supper simple for my sake.

My Grandmother is Violet Bartlett
She married Robert Oakes In September 43

I found Violets birth record and her mothers name was dow or bow she was born in cardiff. and has at least 3 siblings Jane Dorothy Fred,

Jane or Dorothy was a twin.

Im currently looking for Vilots mums first name.

If you click on Search ( top right of this screen ) and then click on All members trees, you can search for tree matches.

At least 3 people have Violet listed. You can contact them direct by clicking on Find out more next to their name against the match.

Hey peeps sorry I didn't reply
My nana name is vilot may Oakes
Her maiden name was bartlett on the photo it dose look like Dow but the transcript on here and bdm say bow she was born in Cardiff 01/03/1924 and married a Robert Oakes inn 1943 I think it was can confirm that date once I'm home her marriage was registered in Macclesfield and as for 7 siblings it's at least here and 5 more my uncle blasted so many uncles and aunts at me I got lost however it at least 4 siblings including a twin sister think of answered all the above questions if not in will once I have access to my computer

Jake. You need to give us some names if you want us to try and help :-)

Image is sometimes wrong ( my own sister is wrongly recorded on index and image ) but I agree, we need more guidance.................

Hello Gwyn, that's the birth we posted (Violet)- then I deleted as actual image gives mother's maiden name as DOW. I can't see 7 siblings with mmn as DOW or BOW.

Think it might be easier for Jake to confirm his Nanna's name before we continue looking

Similar name match births in Cardiff area...... ?

Leave it just in case. I'm not seeing 7 siblings though.

Jake, what is your Nanna's name?

? 2 births Southampton RD 1928 and 1931 Bartlet - no second T

OK AQ, will also delete, but above definitely mmn Bow

GG- I just posted that birth for Violet M Bartlett (but deleted), but actual image gives mmn as DOW
