Hi Carolyn: You could apply for the death cert of Harry PIXTON death reg'd at Salford in the Mar Q of 1901. His age was given as 18. So a birth in 1883 wouldn't be surprising. It seems the PICKSTONEs in the area do use the forename Harold so you might consider that rather than Henry when looking for the birth. There are several potential births for a Harry or Henry BRIERLEY in and around Manchester for the years 1882 and 1883. There's also a Harry PICKSTON 1881 Bolton and a Harold PICKSTONE in 1882 in Bury. You might have to do this the hard way with applying for birth certs with the details of Harry's parents as a condition. Good luck, Irene
Irene Thanks very much for your advice. I have decided to try for the death certificate first and take it from there.
