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.

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. After following the family of William senior both backwards and forwards I managed to trace members of his family to a village in Cambridgeshire and last night I found my William as a six-year-old living with his aunt, William's senior's sister in 1881. 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. I always said I was never going to stop looking and I am so thrilled that I didn't. Joanne :-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~: Except for personal messages, please post replies to the list.

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
