Hi, I have information (name - well, part of the first name, Jas - last name, birth year and place of birth) but I can't find him anywhere - not even a close match - in the Births. I got his information from a 1901 census for the people in his household when I got information about his sister, whose birth I have managed to find. Why can't I find him, please?

Elizabeth would you like to post the details then someone else will have a look.

Maybe his birth was reg under his mothers maiden name?

Aww, thank-you so much!!! You lot on Genes Reunited are so sweet!!!
His information is:

Name: Jas A Foster
Sex: M
Where Born: Lincs Garthorpe

that info was taken from the 1901 census when he was 2 so he was born in either 1899 or 1891 depending on when his Birthday was.

Thanks :D

Hey Gerri, thanks for the tip but I don't know his Mother's maiden name and I have no idea how to find out. But thanks anyway :D

Heres his parents marriage?

Davey William Goole 9c 1381
>>>Foster George Henry C Goole 9c 1381
Pearcy Ann Eliza Goole 9c 1381
>>>Robinson Emily Goole 9c 1381

The district Goole spans the boundaries of the counties of Humberside, Lincolnshire and West Riding of Yorkshire

Unless he was born at the begining of the year he would have been born in 1898 if he was 2 in 1901.

How about this one?
