In the ancestry version, her middle name is misspelled Cuwan yet it's correct as Cowan in the official site, so they've either got the info from elsewhere or as usual, watch out for mistakes in the transcribing.<br />G'LassAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-69553517366114041122014-05-07T20:56:32.961+01:002014-05-07T20:56:32.961+01:00I'm not sure where they got their info from ei...I'm not sure where they got their info from either but it would seem like you should use both to get the most info. I've got a lady who had 2 children that we knew of but sadly had 1 baby in Ayrshire who only lived 3 days. It was quite a shock to discover that in New Zealand there had been 4 more stillborn.<br />I knew they were the correct family as the official site gives family surname and mother and father's forenames. However I did not know when the year the events were registered nor if the wee souls were boys or girls.<br />I've just checked ancestry database and now have Quarters and Folio numbers (not mentioned on official site) and that 2 babies were boys, 1 was a girl and 1 has not had the sex recorded. <br />Should any one else be looking for babies born asleep please note that in ancestry index I found numerous ways that stillborn had been entered so put stillborn in the forename box and make sure you tick Exact, Phonetic, Similar and Initials to get them all.<br /><br />G'Lass<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
