Registration of births wasn't compulsary until (I think) 1875 but I have births a few years after that that weren't registered - best try for baptisms.

There it is then :)

lol Uggers, don't know if it is!

I have baptisms for Lepton but not found him and I had same thought that he may not have been registered.Forgot to mention that Edgar's father Henry died in 1866,he used Henry;s name as father on marriage cert.

Um, if he was born in 1871, then his father can't have died in 1866, looks like some porkies were told in the family maybe?

What about the one that Sue offered?

Dallas, have you met FreeBMD? ;)

Easy as pie and a fraction of the price: free!

It's crappy for fuzzy searches though (if something is mistranscribed or not spelled as you expected).

I think you can use the Ancestry version free:


Births

Marriages
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8913
Deaths
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8914

Ancestry does much better on finding things you weren't looking for.

GRO and Huddersfield Registrar's have checked all dates around 1871 but none matching the parents names I gave them,I have death cert for Henry and burial dates in family vault.

I don't know the geography, but is this one ruled out?

Thanks JaneyCanuck

I have checked with both these web sites more than i can remember

I think someone is lying about Henry being the dad if he died in 1866, it's just not physically possible.

Why don't you order which ever one you think is most likely going off the info you have & not give any names for his parents?

You already know there's something strange going on because he has given the name of a man who was dead 5 yrs before he was born as his father when he married.

Might not of lied about ages

My G/Dad had the surname that was his married mums surname but it now turns out that the man she work for could be his dad

So if the 1881 is the correct family there's a possibility the Mr Cliffe could be the dad.....Your best bet would be to find them in the 1871 and see what Man was living with them

1971.....Children are with G/Dad

Hmmm, interesting.

Yes children are with g/father,I found Eliza as a visitor with her sister in Barnsley in 1871?
could Edgar be born there.

I might inquire about this one:

Births Dec 1871

I've seen several instances of people being called Edwin / Edward / Edgar interchangeably on various records.
