    Thats what I thought, but I can't seem to find this - Its in Northern Ireland somewhere in 1920's. Anyone heard of it?

    I think I have the answer:

    While many of the details contained in the Births Notification Form are forwarded to the registrar by the Occupier of the Hospital in which the birth takes place (or a doctor or midwife in the case of domiciliary births), it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that the information recorded in the Birth Register in respect of their child is correct and accurate. Special care should be taken to ensure that the Birth Notification Form is completed as accurately as is possible taking care to ensure that all spellings are correct etc.

    Thanks

    I dont think that is a place, think it is the work title/occupation of the person named above it.

    There may be more details of the hospital in the 'date and place of birth column', if not you can narrow down the location with the registration district and sub-district details

    the details in the informant column should be :

    name of informant
    qualification
    residence

    it looks like H Pearce
    occupation: Maternity Hospital

    what kind of document is it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,777 ✭✭✭shanew


    I think it's an extract from a civil birth cert

    No, it's "Occupier", as stated in previous posts.


    This is a modern example of a Birth Certificate (but from the Republic of Ireland) with the same word:

    on the birth certs I have obtained, there is usually a column for the name of the person reporting the birth and their occupation...
