Hi, Sorry this seems a delayed answer to your posting, but I have only just seen your thread, and
have just been amazed to see this posting ...
My great Grandfather was John Henry Nuttall..
Weaver from Blackburn !!
He was originally married to my great Grandmother Alice Sarah Martha Smith ( Tottenham, London )..they had my Nan Florence and her brother Wilfred in Barnoldswick, Lancs.
At some point, Alice ran away with the 2 children, back to her family in London.
I then found John Henry on the 1911 Census as a 'Lodger' with Elizabeth Starkie. I noticed that the 2 children had the name "Nuttall-Starkie" - put 2 & 2 together and came up with 10 !! LOL....
I sent off for the birth cert. for the little girl called Elsie b. 11 Mar 1908...it says her name is Elsie Nuttall..Father John William Starkie...Mother Elizabeth Starkie , formerly Sharples.
In the right hand column, a statement has been typed..
" In column 4 ( fathers name ) OMIT John William Starkie, and in column 6 ( Fathers occupation ) OMIT Cotton Weaver...Corrected 23rd December 1938 by me, James Hornby, Supt. Registrar on production of statutory declarations by John William and Elizabeth Starkie.
Would love to talk more about all this !
