hi could someone try and find a birth please for james park born lancashire around 1898ish.many thanks
-
On freeBMD there are 9 born in Lancashire between March 1897 and Dec 1899
Only one born in 1898
James Park Preston 8e 588
but you would need to rule out the others :-\
-
Hi
Can you narrow it down from which part of Lancashire he was born?
Do you know his parents names - we could check the 1901 census for the family which will show his birthplace
-
sorry no thats all i have on him thats as far back as ive got.steve
-
The only way to find out anything more is to get a copy of his marriage cert to find who his father was

thanks,this may be the one it would then put him about 18 when my grandfather was born philip cecil park(1915)
-
Hi
Were Philip's parents James Park & Edith Jackson?
-
yes i have them as that but not 100%sure.steve
-
This is their marriage and this is your grandfathers birth reference - he was born 1914 not 1915. I have checked the GRO index and there is no Philip C Park birth in 1915
Marriage - September quarter 1914
James Park/Edith A Jackson Ulverston 8E 1798
Birth Philip C Park June quarter 1914 mothers maiden name Jackson Ulverston 8E 1385
It would appear they married shortly after Philips birth. If the Preston 1898 birth reg for James is the right one - he was born in the June quarter of 1898 so was barely 16 when Philip was born. If Edith was a little younger - they may have had to wait until she was 16 before they could marry
Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1896

wow ive just really got meself confused..... :o
-
Is this the Philip Cecil Park you are referring to?
Philip Cecil Park born 15 Mar 1915
Death Mar 1991 Age (estimated): 76
Registration district: Luton Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire
Volume: 9
Page: 622
Apart from the year - a March birth that was only registered in April would be shown in the June quarter of that year
Although the year is wrong - if his birth was only registered in the April - it would show in the June quarter
-
yes thats the one he died in luton and his wife erica
-
There is definitely no Philip Cecil Park birth in any quarter of 1915 so it must be the 1914 one which ties up with the 1914 marriage
Family history can be full of surprises

thanks for that,it is very intersting when you start but difficult to get your head round sometimes! :)
