X00262 Everett Delahaye Timeline

Everett Delahaye is the son of John Delahaye and Nancy Lawson. He was born 23 March 1890. But here's where it gets interesting.


A birth registration has been found for him showing him as having being born in Romney, Kent, Ontario. But there is also a second birth certificate out there with the exact same birth date and parents names, showing him as being born in Chicago:


Now, is it a delayed birth registration, so it was created many years after the birth took place and so there are reasons to be a bit suspect. There may have been reasons to suggest an alternative birth location. but this does require tome analysis to determine which birth location is correct. There is the possibility that there could be two individuals with the same name born on the same day, but with the same parents names, it seems very unlikely. It should be noted that his birth location is given as Chicago in his death registration.

Another interesting note is in his delayed birth registration, both parents are listed as being born in the US, which goes against all other information that I've found. I'm inclined to think that the information in the delayed birth record is inaccurate, but I need to do more of an analysis first before ruling it out entirely.
