That LoisCummings Whose Birth is sought to be registered was

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

School register for year 1936 shows Lois Cumming. Family bible entry shows given name as Louise (error in spelling). School registers for years 1930, 1931, 1932 & 1933 shows Lois Cummings 6 years, 11 mos, 2 days, 7 years, 11 mos, 2 days, 8-11 & 2 days & 9-11 & 2 days.

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.
