John Bill Downes Weaver born September 1/4 1889 Tipton, Staffordshire (Reg: Dudley)
Father George Weaver (Puddler) mother Hannah all born in Tipton

in the 1901 Census his sister Frances Humphries and her husband Joseph are living with the family in Tipton so it would appear to be the right family as they witnessed John B. Downes Weavers marriage.
