Hi There, It is possible his birth was never registered. I do have same problem with one of mine. He could of course be in Baptisimal Registers where he was born if you know what area that was. Difficult one. My one is from Herts funny enough. Hope someone may be able to help you more, Best wishes Sandra CEGaules62@aol.com wrote: Can anybody please help me? These two characters came to Stevenage and left their baby girl with the owners of the "Three Horshoes Pub Pin Green whilst they went off too market and never returned for her ! She was then bought up by them , the DAVEY Family and was known by that name, ELSIE DAVEY. When she was about 19yrs she fell pregnant by a young soldier and had a son ...Harry who is my Father.Sadly the father died in action so never came home ; this was in 1917. I cant find a birth certificate anywhere for him, either Davey or the surname of his father .....HESKINS. Any further information on this, or help much appreciated.
