Hi, Someone was looking for records of someone born in Hanley being registered in Audley. Whilst looking for my relatives I noticed that births registered in Audley would be in the Newcastle-under-Lyme records. I hope this helps. Best Wishes,Helen.

For Les Hall - Re the 1901 reli who is said to have been born in at Hanley - who gave the information to the enumerator ? If it was him he may well have THought he was born in Hanley as the family may have moved the short distance while he was still little. Many folks moved from the rural area to the bright lights of the towns for better work. It is a common problem with census' - people tell the enumerator where they BELIEVE they were born , and this is not always correct . For Julie in Australia - You question is very similar - imagine the scenario - Young couple move to the bright lights of Hanley for better work and low and behold she later finds out she's pregnant. Perhaps all her relatives are still in Audley and they say "Come wom ter have the Sprog" - So young wifey goes back to Audley and has the baby. As it was born there then it would have been registered as being born in Audley. On the issued certificate it MAY say Born at AUDLEY in column 1 and give further info in columns 6 and seven. Column six is Fathers occupation = may also have his address if different from the babies birth but this is a rareity - I have two instances of this unusual helpfull info Column 7 is informant - If it was daddy who registered the baby then he may have given the Hanley address. Hope these thoughts help Steve
