Just a guess, was Myers Ann mothers maiden name?

From the marriage cert, what is her fathers name?

The Green and Greener surnames could just be a mistake by the registrar - perhaps he didn't quite hear the surname properly.

It is possible that the first wife Ann Myers died and William married another Ann (Ann Green/Greener).

EDIT - no that can't be the case as it was definitely Ann Green that he married in 1845 and not Ann Myers.

Could the birth certificate for Sarah Ann Hutchinson in 1847 be a child from a different couple altogether?

I think you may have the wrong birth certificate for the first child.

Is this the birth certificate you have for Sarah Ann Hutchinson? :-

First name(s) SARAH ANN
Last name HUTCHINSON
Birth year 1847
Birth quarter 4
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District STOCKTON
County Durham
Country England
Volume 24
Page 250

On the 1851 census the first child is just named Ann and I think this is the birth certificate:-

First name(s) ANN
Last name HUTCHINSON
Birth year 1847
Birth quarter 2
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District STOCKTON
County Durham
Country England
Volume 24

the certificate i have for sarah ann is 23 october 1847 . i did see ann in the 1851 census born 1847 but i thought it was sarah ann 1847

KathleenBell

I would buy the birth certificate for Ann born 1847 and see if the mother's maiden name is Green or Greener. If so I would think it was the correct certificate.

You could always ring the register office in Stockton and ask if you could buy the certificate on condition that the mother's maiden name is Green/Greener.

I'm not sure what they are like now but in the past Stockton register office staff have been very helpful and provided you do buy the certificate over the phone at the time of talking to them then they will check the maiden name for you.

This is the phone number for the Stockton Register Office:-

yes i will do that .. but i know i have correct family through the census ,s and martha 1852 married thomas grahm who was present at death of ann in 1874 so if ann in 1851 census must of been born january 1847 because sarah ann was born october 1847

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 6 Apr 2015 13:02

Not sure what you mean about Ann having to be born January, as the birth reference for the Ann Hutchinson born in 1847 says registered quarter 2 - which means registered in April/May/June so the earliest she could have been born would be the middle of February as you only have 6 weeks to register a birth.

what i ment was in 1861 , 1871 and onwards it is always sarah ann 1847 even when she married and on the birth certificate i have for sarah ann born october 1847 , and the ann you have which i also have in 1851 census was born first quarter 1847 so if ann in 1851 census is same as sarah ann 1847 parents william potter wife ann scotland how can that be possable

Ah, I see now that you have Sarah Ann Hutchinson in the 1861 census. In which case perhaps the birth certificate you have for her is still wrong (as the mother's maiden name is wrong) and perhaps your Sarah Ann wasn't registered at all. Lots of births were not registered right up until 1875 when penalties were introduced for not registering.

sarah ann 1847 mother myers date and place of birth potter thornaby
john 1851 date and place of birth pottery thornaby mother green
both children born same abode and same fathers name and occupation and mother ann myers / green the sarah ann has to be mine

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 6 Apr 2015 14:39

I think the only explanation is that the registrar at the time made a mistake with the mother's maiden name. Is the certificate you have a copy of the original (i.e. written in the old handwriting) or is it a copy that has been typed out or written out more recently?

i realy couldnt say but i got it from stockton reg office is there anyway i could place the document on this thread ?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 6 Apr 2015 14:52

Is it a photocopy, or an actual handwritten cert? If the latter, it will be a newly written copy. If a photocopy, it's likely to be a copy of the original handwritten cert.
