Good luck Linda, by the way if he was 1 on the 1851 census he could have been born any time between April 1849 and April 1850 so he is more likely to have been born in 1849 than in 1850! I hope you don't have to get too many birth certs before you get the right one. Kate.

Did any of you guys get anywhere with this? I'm also looking at this family tree, and it isn't straightforward! James Aspinall Jnr married Emily Pearson in 1870 (27/08). On the cert, her name is given as Emma which isn't unusual especially as she was illiterate, and the address they both lived at on the marriage cert was the same as on the 1871 Census for the Pearson family.
On the certificate James does not give a father's name but is recorded as illegitimate. He appears to have been conceived possibly between his mother Jane's marriage to James Aspinall and John Swarsbrick. Confusingly he is recorded on the 1861 Census as Nephew of Jane's son by her first marriage, John.
Did anyone get any clues as to James (1850) paternity, or is this lost as I suspect in history?
Regards, Chris.
