Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the look ups. I am very confused now! I have his death certification - he died in philadelphia and his date of birth on there is 1/3/1875. However, the same document also lists his mother as Mary Brooks which doesn't appear to be correct going by the census'.
He was definitely born in Finedon along with his brothers and sisters - Herbert Edwin, Frank William, Martha Alice. Could it be that they weren't baptised?. With regards birth certificates there is a Walter George born in March 1873 in Northampton and one in June 1875 - neither of which match is death certificate which I'm not taking to be unreliable.
I'm 99% sure that the census' with George and Ellen are the right ones but I can't prove it without his birth certificate or baptism. Very annoying!!
