WOW !! I'm speechless! (Doesn't happen often 
)
You've found something in a few days that I didn't discover in 20 years !! I'm impressed
The crossed out name William is fascinating. Give me some time to take this on board and I'll come back to you. Fantastic!
Regards
Andrea

Hello and thank you.
I checked that out and on the next census he was with his family, so I had to rule that out. It's also most likely that if Joseph was registered, which the family said he wasn't, it is unlikely that the father's name would be given on the certificate anyway. That's why I gave up about 20 years ago, it's only with the advent of DNA testing that the thought popped into my head again as a possible way of filling the gap. :-)

Thanks for the suggestions, but none of the Hayes had the Mother's name as Annie and, if I remember correctly from the census data they were all married families with several children which, unfortunately, does not fit.

Hello and thank you for your suggestions.
I have been researching this for over 20 years and believe I have covered most avenues. Annie's surname was Hey, in 1891 she was in Horwich living and working at George Clucard's Coffee Shop. Maybe he was Joseph's father !!!! No mention of Joseph. No Joseph Hey anywhere else that is not accounted for in 1901. She did not marry Thomas Roberts. Grandpa did not have a birth certificate, he knew that, my dad knew that, hence the use of the Labour Certificate as his only known Id. That leaves only DNA. I shall have to start saving up !!

Thank you - yes. Got all of that. Just wish i knew who his father was, but, as I said in a previous post, maybe I would be better spending money on the next generations, rather than searching for the past?

Hello
Yes, I found him recently. There were errors in the presentation of the 1939 on Find My Past which have now been corrected. I remember going to that address as a child, fond memories, but no Great Grandpa there !!

Thank you, but I've already tried that and multiple other places. It really is an absolute dead end, unless DNA can show otherwise. Having said that, I've looked at Ancestry and I don't think I can justify spending £60, plus registration fees with them - I'd rather give it to my Grandson. Look to the future, rather than the past maybe?
