I came across this entry and wondered if there's any way of knowing who his mother was without having to buy the certificate?

Letson Harold (Mothers name- Letson) Oldham 10f 145

You came across which entry?

If it is a birth in the index before 1911 then you will have to buy the certificate for his mother's name or look for him in the census records to see if he is with his parents.

If the birth was Sept 1911 onwards then the mothers maiden name will be on the birth registration

Try giving us the name of the child if you are struggling

Edit; Oh I see you added the name but not the year of birth

Ahhh....I see. If you mean his mother's first name then you will have to buy the certificate.

Oooh...sorry, yes you're right of course he is most likely still on fullers earth...I think it was due to using Freebmd and I always think of that as 'way back'

I'll delete and PM the details to you Sandra

Ginny, thank you. I have the Letson and Mellor marriage and I was wondering if Elizabeth had Harold before she was married and maybe after she married Harold Mellor they changed his surname to Mellor?

Thats looks like the case but if you are serious about research, you do need to buy certs

Thank you Ginny, I received the PM.

I don't mind buying the certs, I was just trying to find out if it was likely to be the same person before I send for the cert.

Thank you very much.
