William gives Newtown as his birthplace, which would come under Pemberton.

MAYBE this is his birth with mother's maiden name Baynes

PLEASE CHECK OUT his marriage cert to Eliza for father's name before assuming this is him

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1887
BELSHAW William - Pemberton - Wigan & Leigh - BAYNES

Strange that Elizabeth Baines' father is recorded as William Pemberton .....
