Ann grimshaw birth approx 1854/55 ormskirk
Hi , Can anyone help , I am trying to find a definite date or place for my great grandma 4x times Ann Grimshaw formerly Robinson . I know she married William Grimshaw in 1873 at St. Paul's skelmersdale . She is supposed to be 19 then . but her husband is 20 on the marriage certificate . he was born in Glasgow in 1854 , that's why she must have been born around 1855 in ormskirk . I can follow the thread after here , but still trying to establish family . Her farther was james Robinson a tailor by trade I have looked on the parish clerks for skelmersdale , ormskirk and that area but still haven't found her . Problem is there are lots of Robinson around the lathom area near ormskirk . so I am stuck now Any would be gratefully recieved . Thanks qwackers

So this looks like the Robinson family in 1871, but no Ann:
1871 census on ancestry No 7 House, Aughton St, Ormskirk, Lancashire James Robinson Head Mar 46 Tailor Lancashire Bolton Jane Robinson Wife Mar 46 " Ormskirk James Robinson Son Unmar 18 Blacksmith " " Nancy Robinson Daughter " 16 Domestic Servant " " John Robinson Son 13 Scholar " " Richard Robinson Son 8 Do " " Oops, Nancy is Ann, of course!

It looks as though her birth was registered as Nancy, since these Robinson birth regs from Lancashire BMD seem to fit with the children in the family, all Ormskirk sub-district, all with mother's maiden name Hale:
James 1851 Nancy 1853 William 1856 John 1858 Sarah 1861 Richard 1862. And just to confirm this is the right family, James Robinson married Jane Hale at Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne, Liverpool, in 1850 (also from Lancashire BMD). These are the details on Lancashire BMD for Nancy's birth certificate: Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1853 Surname ROBINSON Forename(s) Nancy Sub-District Ormskirk Registers At Preston Mother's Maiden Name Hale and this must be the corresponding entry in the GRO index: Births Apr-Jun 1853 ROBINSON Nancy Ormskirk vol 8b page 486 Reference OK/7/41

Also, Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website has transcribed her baptism:
Baptism: 21 Aug 1853 St Peter and St Paul, Ormskirk, Lancashire, England Nancy Robinson - [Child] of James Robinson & Jane Abode: Ormskirk Occupation: Tailor

Don't want to get too excited , but I have just found a ellen callen born in Ayrshire in 1826 . Could this be my relative . how do I check . if. I get William or James grimshaws birth certificate . Will it say how old she was at the time of Williams birth ? Any help would be gratefully accepted

Reading back through your old William Grimshaw thread, Ellen's birthplace is shown as Wigan Lancashire on the 1861 census. And the William Grimshaw (sr) / Ellen Calland marriage was 1844 at All Saints, Wigan. It also says on that old thread that Lancs Online Parish Clerks had transcribed that marriage and it was 11 Mar 1844 with Ellen age 21, spinster, of Ince, father William Calland, collier.
On the 1871 census Ellen's birthplace is also Wigan Lancashire. So I'm not sure why you're looking for her birth in Scotland? Anyway, to answer your question, no, the child's birth cert won't show the parents' ages. But the marriages and the census entries suggest she was born about 1823. I'll have a quick look for a baptism before Dr Who starts...

Ah, this
1841 census on ancestry must be the Calland family in 1841: Britania Bridge, Ince, Wigan, Lancashire William Calland 40 Coal Miner Y Cicely Calland 35 Labourer Y Ellen Do 15 Coal Miner Y Mary Do 15 Do Do Y Elizabeth Do 13 Do Drawer Y Richard Do 10 Y Thomas Do 6 Y Margaret Do 2 Y Ages were rounded down to a multiple of 5 on this census, so it doesn't mean that Ellen and Mary were twins. I think the name Cicely is used later on in the Grimshaw family, isn't it? So they look like the right family. William Calland married Cicely Walker 31 Aug 1823 Warrington, but I can't see Ellen's baptism just at the moment. Back later...
