George Chadwin was born before registration, so you won't find a birth cert. The christening record is the best that you'll do.

I've read that in at least one census they were asked for the nearest biggest town to where they were born rather than the actual place, but I can't remember which census this was.

Ozi.

In 1871 George says he's from Basford which is about 12 miles from Bulwell..
Could have been registered as Basford which is the registry area for Bulwell

Sorry, I just had to watch Jelena Dokic win her match at the Australian Open.

Could what have been registered at Basford?

Hi again
It is thought that Richard married Elizabeth Boot 1824 but had no children
He married Elizabeth Chadwin in 1838 who had already had George, tjen
Jane was a Thompson.
Could it been registered as Basford which is the registry area for Bulwell

However do you notice how George Chadwin is living with them 1841 - 1861. In 1861 he's recorded as Richard's son.

Marriages Sep 1838
CHADWIN Elizabeth Southwell 15 779
THOMPSON Richard Southwell 15 779

Looks like Richard remarries by 1871.

Sorry, I was called away.

Richard is a widower in 1861.

Unfortunately having the surname Thompson doesn't make it easy.
