Hi Penny,
Thanks for your note re the mother of Harold Mattinson. I'm suspicious about the birth year and wish they had included some school records when applying for her delayed birth reg. The 1891 census lists William Patton (and wife Merina!) with a daughter Mary (age 4). That's not very compatible with her delayed birth reg. (b 13-Aug-1889) Wish I could find her in the 1901 or 1911 census, but think I'll show her as born about 13-Aug-1887 with a note about her delayed birth reg. 1887 is also compatible with her stated age when married.
And gosh, what do we call her? Her NS Marriage Reg. lists her as Lillian and the Jan 25, 1909 Truro Daily News had a marriage notice listing her as Lillian. Guess I'll show her as Liliah (AKA Lillian).
Gerry
