Can any one find this birth in edinborough plz
Sarah Anne Springhall DOB. 13/06/1943 born in Edinburgh

Dad Ralph Douglas Springhall DOB. 27/09/1915 born Grimsby
Mum Patricia Elizabeth Burns/Hogg DOB. 08/05/1915 born in Ireland
Patricia was one of nine siblings

Thinking possibly Sarah MIGHT not be the daughter of Patricia

Struggling very much

SARAH HAS NEVER HAD A BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Many thanks

Look for the info on Scotland's People website

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search-our-records

Searching is free.

BUT - you can't order certs at the moment, and in any case, MMN is not shown on the records


If she was illegitimate, he birth would be registered in the mother's name, and if that name isn't known, you're not likely to be able to find anything


However, would the father's wife have taken in her husband's child by another woman????

Isn't it more probable that she was the woman's child - taken in by her husband?

Have just looked at freebmd. NO records for the name Ralph Springhall........so how did you learn that he was allegedly born in Grimsby?

NO Springhall records at all in Grimsby on freebmd

Sarah's birth.

SPRINGALL
SARAH ANN

1943
685/2 905
St Andrew (Edinburgh)

You'll have to buy a copy of the cert (£12) via Scotlands People website to see all the details.

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Register on the site (free), and find the above record (free), and then buy the cert via the link beside the record.

But as Erika says, you can't at the moment, because of the Covid-19 lockdown.

Keep an eye on the SP website for when they get back to normal working

Deborah -

When ordering the birth cert (when SP allows), it doesn't matter which version you order (Springall, Hogg, or Galloway).
It's all the one certificate, so just order one of them.

All her mother's various names will be listed on the one and only certificate.

??? I think this is more likely to be Elizabeth's death:

Birth Date: 8 Jul 1915

There's supposedly a gravestone photo , though I can't get the link to open - and there's no photo on Findagrave:

Deleted the death info in view of AG’s post, which seems more likely, due to location

Interesting, though, that it was for Elizabeth BROWN Springall, in view of marriage records

Wow In simple terms registered in other surnames how do u find this out .. confused as to where the surname brown has come from .. many thanks. Just trying to get my head round all this confusion
Are there any births to Bryce Walker Galloway x x x

ErikaH Report 20 Jul 2020 20:47

Look at SP - it's free to search

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search-our-records

BUT.......as already pointed out, no MMN on SP records

Brown is a second forename in the context of the above info

Re births of children of Bryce Galloway -

as already said, SP doesn't show mother's name on search results for births after 1845.

You have to buy the certs to find out who the mother was, but it would be far too expensive.
Between 1936 and 1943, there were 44 Galloway births in Edinburgh.

However, up to 2020, there were no deaths in Scotland of people named Galloway, with mms Hogg and born between 1936 and 1943, so it may be that there were no children.
That's not conclusive, of course. Any children may have died somewhere other than Scotland, or may still be alive.

No, disregard this post.
This can't be your Elizabeth. She wouldn't be old enough to be on the Electoral Roll in 1930.

But maybe it's her mother listed in 1930.
