AFFIDAVIT

IN THE MATTER of the application for the Registration of the Birth of Anna BelleMorrison

Born at Howie Center in the County of Cape Breton

That Anna BelleMorrison Whose Birth is sought to be registered was

born at Howie Center Cape Breton County on August 15, 1920

My knowledge of the fact and date of such Birth is based on the following Circumstances:

The 1921 and 1931 Census Records which apparently anticipated age by two months at time of census taking. Baptismal Certificate which indicates date of birth as August 20, 1920 and a Certificate of family doctor which indicates August 15, 1920, as date of birth and the National Registration Record of August 1940, which indicates August 15, 1920 as date of birth. Documents verifying the above are attached.

Keyword Search looks for the "term" (one word or number works best) you type throughout the whole record. It is less accurate than the advanced search but it does let you search for age, religion, mother's maiden name, etc. if transcribed.
