Thanks Gins, really appreciate all the help from you & Jan. I didn't mean to dismiss your suggestion but out of all the marriage certs i have bought the ages have been pretty accurate, thanks once again

Marriages and census info is not reliable, in relation to ages

You really can't research your family without certificates. I think Jan and I have done the best we can to pin point his birth

......it's up to you now, to buy a certificate, to find the correct birth....or, just follow a wrong 'line'

Thanks for the replys all your help is very much appreciated, Gins i don't think the prescot birth for 1884 is right as that would only make him 16 when he married & the marriage cert says he is 20

That looks like it might be worth considering doesn't it - well done with the birth Gins.

Hi Gins, thanks for reply i have not ruled any out, but was leaning more to lancashire as in 1923 Dorothy Maud wed in Liverpool.
