Bilston - Staffs
« on: Thursday 18 March 10 15:52 GMT (UK) »
Where is the registration district for Bilston?  My husbands  great  grandad was born there in 1866 by the name of John Baker and I am having trouble finding him.  Any help appreciated.

Hi Poptin,

The relatives of mine who were born in Bilston appear in the district Wolverhampton in the GRO indices, have you tried looking him up on FreeBMD?

Cheers,

I cant see him on 1871, the only John Bakers I can see bn Bilston are younger. Have you got him?
Where does your info about his date and place of birth come from?
Could he have been born before his parents marriage and registered in mums maiden name?
