Hello All I have put a lot of postings on the site looking for the birth reg and Baptism of John Robson born 1840 as yet no luck, what I am wondering is how rare is it for a child to be neither Registered at Birth and also not baptised, when all his other siblings are baptised being born before 1837 and Regsitered being born after 1837, what am I missing? Completely baffled. Thanks Allan Robson

Hi Allan Is there any chance your John Robson's parents may have been hard up at the time of hs birth and simply couldn't afford to register him? I know it took my dad's family 6 weeks to come up with the money to register him as they were out on strike at Dawdon Pit at the time of his birth. Your family may never have found the money and either never registered him or registered him at a completely different time.
