That Mary AliceWatt Whose Birth is sought to be registered was

born at Sydney Cape Breton County on April 1, 1921

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

Mary was the only one of my eight children born in a hospital. My husband was out of work at the Steel Plant at that time I was three weeks in the Salvation Army Hospital at the time of Marys birth. I also recall it from the humorous side, as Mary was an April Fool baby

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.
