    That's it, thanks! Just realised Its not the person I was looking for after all that though.

    Most of the death entries on this page have one of two words written after them that look like either statis or actatis.
    Does anyone know what they mean? (register is from Legan, Co. Longford)

    aetatis would mean "aged" or "at the age of" -- otatis might just be a misspelling?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,108 ✭✭✭pedroeibar1


    Aetas means 'age' and aetatis is its genitive singular, 'of age' - in the register shown it simply means that the individuals were aged as Lottpaul says. FWIW a farmer is agricola, often to be found in the alumni register of TCD

    'Tatis' is translated by google as 'farm' so I just put 2 and 2 together... apologies :o

    I actually found a few 15 year old girls that died from TB in that quarter of 1934..
    here's the link to the death of Christina Roche


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


    cardiac syncope


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 roslyn000123


    Thanks so much, I appreciate that, your all so good, my eyes were going googly trying to read it about 3 weeks now..
    The family never agreed she had TB, she had just come from an industrial school, don't know why they signed off on TB when they believed something else caused her death..

    Mod note: where possible, please link to the original whole page of the register in question. It helps to see other examples of the same handwriting.

    Yes.

    4th and 4th degrees of consanguinity (both four generations from common ancestors) = 3rd cousins.

    So this is the 1911 Canadian census. I'm looking at a family third from bottom called McPartlin.

    Particularly interested to see what people think the wife is called and the second child

    John (husband "chef" in French)
    ?
    Anna
    ?
    Stuart
    Ernest

    Transcription on FMP seems dodgy to me and they don't match what looks like the same family on 1901. I won't influence thoughts by telling you what they are though!

    Thanks.

    Gesse and Lizzie?

    Genealogy Forum Mod



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,991 ✭✭✭✭Johnboy1951


    My guess ...

    John Johan?
    Gesse 'G' based on a couple of other names on the page George
    Anna
    Liese the 's' is doubtful due to correction
    Stuart
    Emmet

    Don't seem quite right :D


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 11,311 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hermy


    On second thoughts I think I concur with Johnboy - it's not Lizzie - it's Liese or something similar.

    The years of birth don't match up with the stated ages. There may be lots of errors on it.

    edit**
    The 1901 census lists
    John
    Jessie
    Annie
    and
    Elizabeth.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,621 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Yes, that's right - I was holding off showing what the 1901 said until a couple of people had responses.

    There's some discrepancies: 1901 has exact DOBs but 1911 just has month year. The months match in every case but the years are off on some of those people.

    I'm still inclined to think it's the same family on both though. I don't have an Ancestry sub at the moment so I can't compare theirs.

    Oh I'd say it's the same family alright.

    Looks like Gesse and Lizze to me, the census taker's version of Jessie and Lizzie. Perhaps English was not his first language.
