PRICE Birth have the Parish records but no Birth certificate

[crystal-tips]

If anybody could offer any guidance on this i would be grateful.

I have the parish record entry it shows;

Baptisms solemnized in the parish of Birkenhead in the county of Cheshire in the year of 1846

Entry 356
Edward son of William and Ellin price, fathers occupation plasterer, abode Birkenhead

There is only one birth registered in that quarter.
I then sent for the certificate and have had my cheque returned, as the parents names are totally different!
They also tell me there is one birth registered in that quarter for Edward Price.
I am puzzled - how can i find his birth certificate?

Thanks

Maybe it wasn't registered at all.

Which reference(s) did use when you send off for the certificate?

Thanks for the help

The baptism is shown in the parish records as June 14th 1846, so I thought that the birth would have been registered in that quarter.

I requested the only Edward Price birth for that quarter BIR/10/76 apparently its not the right one - parents are different

I saw the two births for the Dec quarter but would have thought that they were too late.

Maybe the birth wasn't registered

Is there a birth in the 3rd quarter? As the birth was mid June it might not have been registered until the next quarter, as parents have several weeks in which to register

Hi

The baptism could have taken place sometime after he was was born, I have seen them done in job lots with a range of ages, ie if he was a year old when baptized, it would have been registered in the previous year

I was just going to say that too Marg 

I can't see a family set up on the 1851 census that fits though.

Hi Carol

Great minds think alike

The family are not in Cheshire in 1851 they are in Bangor;

The census shows;

Ellin Price 38 married lodger Washer women born Bangor
William Price  aged 9 born Bangor
Edward price aged 4 born Birkenhead

Father, William Price is missing.

In 1861 Ellin and Edward are still in Bangor but father and brother are missing.

So could Edward have been born elsewhere?
If so why does census say birth Birkenhead?

Thanks for the help
