The only birth reg that is coming up is the one that I gave this morning.

I think that the Henry A is yours because of the birthplace and age and i think that the Henry on the 1891 with parents William and Eliza  is a very strong possible for him, given that he seems to have been called Henry

Eliza Peel and William Stevenson are on the same page of marriages in  Whitchurch in 1880 -

Dec q, vol 6a p 1386

Added - so far haven't found them on the 1881

You guys are fantastic, thanks so much.

It all seems very plausable and I do think my grandfather was known as Henry.

I will check with my cousin in Chester tomorrow as she is the only relative I know that is still living.

We moved to this area when I was 18mths so I have no contact with any other relatives apart from my Dad's brother's daughter who remembers a bit more than I do.

Thanks again both of you.

Curttom.
