Can anyone help,

I am looking for details of my grandfather, born in 1892, in Ormskirk, Lancashire, and I believe then married in Poole, Dorset around 1920.

Are you sure he was born in Lancashire?? - This is the only one I can see:

Births Dec 1892
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CORNELIUS Harry Cecil West Ham 4a 155


Do you have him on any census?

Was he actually Henry?

Put the following site in your favourites - use it for bmd records between 1827 and approx 1950

Henry Anderton Cornelius enlisted in WW1. He was living in Doncaster at the time.

Well done Potty - that did not show on Lancs BMD - I wonder why??

It does not show on lancs bmd as neither Southport nor Birkdale (both Ormskirk reg dist) are transcribed. Births at Southport only from 1894

Thanks Ann,

I went back and checked and discovered that :-)

I don't know why my post has been 'marked as answered'. I certainly didn't add the tag

I wonder where Sheila is?????????

I've had a PM, so Sheila has obviously re-visited her thread.

It would be nice if she could add some acknowledgment of all the info given to her, by using the box below entitled 'Add your reply'

I've deleted my post which someone 'marked as answered' and am re-posting the info below

Birth Date: abt 1893

For the benefit all of those who have given time and effort to try to help...........

I copy below a PM just received from Sheila

Sorry, thanks for the info, but I had found it out already, as well as the Ancestry website.

Which makes you wonder what she was asking for in the first place?
