Gt. Gt. Grandfather William Smith, died 1914, on all census records, he is aged 20, 30, 40, 50, on 1901 he is down as 61. Place of birth changes from AULT HUCKNALL Nottinghamshire, PLESLEY HILL Nottinghamshire, MANSFIELD Nottinghamshire. Any ideas where his birth was registered, have tried in vain to find him, know from his marriage cert that his father was named Benjamin, other than that stumped. Have tracked his death cert with help from this site, so hoping for a breakthrough with birth. |

if he was 61 in 1901 then he was born c 1830 which is too early for birth registration. |

Thanks everyone, fathers occ. on marriage cert down as labourer, which I guess could have made him a farm worker. Will take a look at the Ruddington family, any more input welcome - Gerald |

The Benjamin on the census posted was a framework knitter, so unlikely to be the one. |

Are there any clues in the witnesses to the marriage i.e. brothers/sisters of William? |

Have you plotted all of these places he says he was born in? Are they very far apart or fairly close together? |

Ault Hucknall and Pleasley were both townships in the Derbyshire part of Mansfield Reg D, and were later (1937) transfered to Chesterfield. |

Nice try Selena, witnesses at marriage were brides sister and her husband - so thoughtless these ancesters! |
