on the 1901 Wales census in Merthyr Tydfil I have a Ellen Caddick nee Griffiths(wife of a Edward Caddick who is in SA in boer war) living with 2 of her brothers and a Jas (James/John) Caddick shown as brother-in-law.
James/John is shown as born 1884 in Tipton Staffs (the census shows Glam but is incorrectly transcribed) and I assume (?) brother of Edward Caddick born 1876 Tipton Staffs.
Now I do believe that Edward is an illegitimate birth based on baptism records and military attest information.
What I trying to find is any other information on James/John Caddick. If he is illegitimate I believe this would be his birth certificate:
Name John Caddick
Registration Date 1883[1883]
Quarter of the Year Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration Place Dudley, Staffordshire, England
Volume 6c
Page 81
The 1901 census is the only concrete information I have:
Detail Source
Name Jas Caddick
Age in 1901 17
Estimated Birth Year abt 1884
Relation Brother-in-law
Gender Male
Where born Glam, Baynarren (transposed with Ellen's brother
Civil parish Merthyr Town Dowlais
Ecclesiastical parish Dowlais St John
County/Island Glamorgan
Country Wales
Registration district Merthyr Tydfil
Sub-registration district Upper Merthyr Tydfil
Piece 5029
Folio 62
Page number 22
Household Members (Name) Age Relationship
Ellen Caddick 20 Head
Jas Griffiths 22 Brother
Jas Caddick 17 Brother-in-law
Thos Griffiths 10 Brother
Rather long winded but would welcome any assistance with James/John Caddick
NOTE: I have all Information on Edward from birth to death.

You can buy a digital copy of his birth cert for £3 to establish his mothers name. GRO online is showing no mmn so clearly illegitimate
Same for Edward

The GRO shows mmn as ‘-‘ for that record but there is another, also Dudley, same quarter, mmn Ellis. Vol 6c, page 97. Both available for £3 (each) from the GRO

Thanks both, use gro all the time, didn't think about the digital record. I know that Edward,s mother was Sarah Anne Caddick.

Ordered birth certs for Edward and John. Edwards mother Sarah Anne Caddick, Johns mother Emma Jane Caddick. Birth addresses for both are about 1.5 miles apart in Tipton Staffs. Sisters??
Thanks for the information on digital copies had not been aware of that

The digital records option is fantastic, especially when you are not sure it’s the one you’re looking for. As it gives all you need, I haven’t bought the full certificate since the digital option came in.
