Signature registrant; W. Pick father 3 Armitage Beck (Beck could be something else) and the town is not readible, registered sixth february 1882. The certificate was produced 9 November 1896.
The 1881 census for his father and mother show the dwelling as 3 Armitage St and the census place as Bishopwearmouth, Durham England

Aunt Peggy Pick had written that the name was Rose Kell. It seems Peggy must have been mixing up then first name of her mother and grand mother. With the census information showing Susannah Pick, and the marriage of a William Pick to Susannah Kell in Sunderland, the inference is the mother was Susannah Kell.
