The state required birth registration in 1905 - when soc. sec. came into
being, the state made available delayed birth certificates which required
2-3 different types of proof of birth (insurance, marriage, children's birth
certificates) to register the birth if one hadn't been recorded previously
but not many people did it on a delayed basis either for births prior to
1905......my mother was born in Sierra county in 1917 and she doesn't have a
birth certificate recorded - no one got to town to take care of the home
birth and only medical personal at the birth were required to file a birth
certificate until hospital births became common and then the hospital took
care of it for the new parents....suggest you try to find a mention of her
birth in the newspaper since births tended to be news in that
era......baptismal records are another source......

Subject: [CASANJOA] Lila Mae Bickford Birth Record


> Hello,
>
> I was wondering if someone could help me with where I could find a copy of
my great grandmother's birth record. I had sent a request to San Joaquin
County and they replied that they couldn't find it. I am absolutely certain
she was born in this county and can't figure out why there is no record. Any
help or insight would be greatly appreciated. The following is her
information:
>
> Lila Mae Bickford
> Born 10-17-1893 in San Joaquin County, CA
> Daughter of Charles W. Bickford and Mae Estelle Worth Bickford.
>
> Lila also had two older brothers. Ulmer Merrill Bickford was born
8-18-1884 and Earl Worth Bickford was born 12-24-1885, both also in San
Joaquin County. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
