Andrea, would you mind telling us the additional sibling's name? Some of us like to know we have done a proper search for people.

Thanks Everyone Riddle Now Solved.

The One Possible Relative Came Through And Confirmed The Parents And All Sibling, As Well As Adding Another I Had No Idea About.

oops - must get my eyes tested missed that one

From the death registration I would think

for info to narrow down marriage place

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1916

WHITELEGG Albert MOSS Hilda Flixton, St Michael Trafford CE12/2/240

curious as to how you know Hilda's exact date of birth but not her parents names?

Oh, it's a laptop. Far too risky for moi.

I broke my laptop button so I had to get the mouse, it works better but tends to be very sensitive... wine on table .....so its safe

I didn't read your initial post closely enough. So you aren't even sure if she had siblings William, Albert etc. So you need the marriage of Hilda to Albert Whitelegg, to be sure her father is William, otherwise we could be on the wrong track.

A wireless mouse (or keyboard) is ruined if you spill wine on it. Get a cheap job from the supermarket and keep a spare!

I always do Tidy after, I'm having enough trouble with my new wireless mouse that keeps falling off my lap onto the floor. Saves me tripping over the wires when I want to get up though

There a few William Moss's marrying a Mary in that area around the right time. The only way of being sure which Mary is to get the birth certificate of one of the children. Assuming Hilda is your most important relative, here is the GRO record to tie in with your date of birth:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
about Hilda Moss Name: Hilda Moss
Year of Registration: 1892
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Salford
County: Greater Manchester, Lancashire
Volume: 8d
Page: 161 (click to see others on page)

I can't guarantee it's the right Hilda, her birth date might be wrong (I assume you got that from her death record):

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005
about Hilda Whitelegg Name: Hilda Whitelegg
Birth Date: 1 May 1892
Death Registration Month/Year: 1971
Registration district: Bradford
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 2b
Page: 518

Which may, or may not, be the correct birth date.

It's looking good, this is that Hilda in 1911:

MOSS HILDA 1893 18 **Barton upon Irwell* Lancashire
living with
MOSS WILLIAM 1852 59
MOSS MARY 1854 57
MOSS ALBERT 1883 28
MOSS CLARA 1889 22

Ah, jax got there faster, but I got there so much neater.

And then jax tidied! ;)

Thank You Janey
