John and Nora's Six Children

 

Mary was the oldest of the six children, born on June 27, 1871.  Below is her civil birth record, on a page from the registrar's book.  Below that is the heading that shows the district in which the birth was recorded.  All of the records have the same heading, so I have just shown the part of each page with their information on it.
