Hello. I am looking into finding more information about - George Ralphs (with a S on the end) born 1900. He was one of 9 children (6 boys and 3 girls) to George and Margaret Jane (Rathbone).
On the 1911 census they lived at 12 Bird St, Higher Ince, Wigan
He enlisted at Bolton into the 53rd (Young Soldiers) Battalion on 9 April 1918 aged 18 years and 21 days.
This is all I can find and hope someone can help with more information

You have been asked in your other threads to be clearer about WHAT information you are looking for.
What do you want to know about George? You have his parents’ names and you have him in the census. You have his military record.
Birth date – 13 mar 1900. (Registered under the name RALPH)
He married Alice in 1923

I posted info from the 1939 register then lost it.
It looks like your man's birth in 1900 was with the surname Ralph , no s, and that is also how they are recorded in 1901 and 1939 register which has George born 13 March 1900 working in a Steel works, his wife Alice and, daughter Marie born 1926 and son John. He's still single living with his parents in 1921 and the surname is again recorded as Ralph.
Marriages June 1/4 1923
George Ralph and Alice White Wigan 8c/162
