Kind of unclear -- are you saying that you *know* that your Hilda Moss had these parents and siblings? or that you have found the record MM posted, for instance, and are trying to determine that it is *your* Hilda Moss?

To be certain, you will -- as we all do -- have to obtain your Hilda's birth and/or marriage certificate, to get her parents'/father's name.

The only way to find what Hilda Moss married Albert Whitelegg is to get her marriage certificate! which will tell you Hilda's age, father's name and father's occupation -- and if you're lucky, might have one of her siblings as a witness to the marriage.

This is where to order it, with the registration info above:

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.

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

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 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

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

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.
