Hi,   I'm trying to trace the family of my great grandfather, Horace BAILEY.   Horace was born in 1898, but his birth was never registered, nor was he christened/baptised.   He had one brother, John/Jack (middle initial H) and one sister (Winifred) - and a younger half brother.   I think i might have the birth certificate for Jack, but i'm not in a financial position to purchase one for Winifred.   Anyway,  Their father was William Henry Bailey, a gas fitter.   The birth certificate reads:   born 11 august 1906 at 14 Mount Pleasant Grove, Camden Street, Birmingham (in all saints district) name John Henry Sex Male Name of father William Henry BAILEY Name of mother Emily BAILEY formerly WHITTINGHAM occupation of father Builders Carter   It was Emily who registered the birth on 17 September 1906   Call it gut instinct, but i believe Horace is illegitimate   Thanks in advance   Roz __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
