Thanks for that info. I have seen it and the father's name doesn't match the name George gave on his marriage certificate, i.e. Robert Wilson. I am having doubts about even this, as I have recently found out that my gg grandmother gave a name for her father on her marriage certificate, however she was illegitimate. Having spent a lot of time trying to trace her supposed father. That's family history for you!!

That George Thwaites Wilson though is on the Manchester Baptisms that are on ancestry. His d of b is given as Dec 1890 which would not tie in with a one month old child in the 1891 census.

Thank you. If the birth certificate does name the father it will be like Christmas, but since I don't think the parents married I am not holding out too much hope. I'll just be delighted to have a date of birth and an address.

Dear Listers I thought I would share this news with the list because no one else really quite understands my excitement. After 16 years of searching I have found my great grandad! I always had plenty of records of him from his marriage in 1897 onwards, but no matter what I tried I could never seem to find him in any censuses prior to that and never a hint of a birth record. In desperation I tried looking for possible fathers for him and planned to work them forwards to try to prove a link. Thanks to the help of some people on this list a few weeks back, I discovered that one of those possible fathers, William Humphrey, was living in virtually the same street as my great grandad, also William Humphrey, in 1901.

This gave me the link I needed to prove that William senior did actually have a son, William, of the exact age to be my William and born about 20 miles from where I have always thought my William was born. I hardly slept last night in the excitement and will be a bag of nerves until the birth certificate arrives in the post later this week. I am sure you will all understand my excitement.

Many thanks to Mike and Liane for the information and input. I have obtained several birth certificates and so far not one has been for George as illegitimate with the mother as one of his 'sisters', nor have the parents been Robert and Elizabeth. I am beginning to think that the birth may not have been registered. Anyhow will keep looking.

Hi Kathleen, Just as a point of interest, Ancoats and area "may" have been part of Manchester that was transferred to Prestwich as described in ukbmd.org.uk in 1874 and later transferred to North Manchester (1925). George Thwaites WILSON was registered in Mar qtr 1891 Prestwich 8d 333. A slim hope, I know, but maybe... hth David

Hi David, the Lancashire BMD has the same record along with the district as Newton. I feel like you that this is the same person.
