UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE
B.A.; George Selborne Cowie, Of New College;

Many thanks for all that - esp Erika. There is certainly no birth registration for her in Kent on FreeBMD. I'll check out their images. I don't know why I couldn't find her in 1911. Yes I do - a 'daddy look' I can now believe that O E D is related through her maternal line in Cornwall.
I was not happy with reg of Olive May but found her in 1911.
Oh I see, Emilie after her gran and the posh bits added later. Gotcha
Thanks again, Over and out.

Thanks, Shirley. Perhaps I'm mistaken on that one - never too sure of when that info was added to death certs.

I'm sure the poster will check

Don't think a 1970 death cert gives place of birth

My dad died in 1975 and his death cert doesn't give place of birth
