Hi, thanks for the reply, i have edited the post removing those who may still be alive.
I managed to do extensive research on my own family using just what was available online so i was hoping i could do the same, as i am already doing this research for free i'm not willing to pay for the copy certificate, unfortunately the pdf download isn't available for that record otherwise i would have done it.

Hi all, i have been researching for a friend who doesn't know much about her family, i thought i was making good progress but i'm really stuck.
my research starts with the marriage between Leslie hardy and May bagnall, ashbourne Q2 1934, they had at least 3 children including george, whose birth is in ashbourne with mothers surname bagnall.
I thought i had found leslie and may living in belper in 1939 but there are no children living with them (not even redacted), i contacted someone who had that leslie and may in their tree but he was convinced that may's surname was jewkes and not bagnall which is definitely not the one i am tracing as the childrens birth records states their mother as bagnall.
I can't find any may bagnalls that would fit, just a mary ellen bagnall, daughter of alfred and ellen but she married somebody else.
i researched the leslie hardy b1899 from the 1939 register believing him to be the one i was looking for, his parents james hardy and edith dunnicliffe, i feel like i have spent hours researching and got absolutely nowhere!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe a fresh pair of eyes can shed some light on things.

My son had a look and couldn't quite make it all out, but agrees with your translation.
Hi, thankyou to you and your son for taking the time though.

« on: Monday 23 September 19 21:34 BST (UK) »I have a son studying Japanese at Uni - he may be able to translate for you, or possibly his tutor. I understand there are a number of dialects, but assume it would be in the Tokyo dialect? Post an image here, or send me a pm.
Hi, here is the document.

« on: Thursday 19 September 19 21:41 BST (UK) »I am wondering if this is Joseph in 1911
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X49G-MRP
Barrow in Furness is not that far away from Lancaster. I have a family member in Barrow in 1911 whose family was in Morecambe
Thankyou for that rosie, after getting hold of may's birth certificate it says joseph is an iron moulder so i'm pretty sure this is him in 1911!
