Hi

It would help us if you could give us some details, working backwards is normally easiest for us so where do you have Frederick in the census?

Hi,

Are you sure you have the correct Frederick on the 1911 census?

I am fairly sure that he married Elizabeth Ann Bratt at St Lukes Salford and his father was named as Robert Birch, Moulder:

Marriage: 6 Aug 1906 St Luke, Weaste, Lancashire, England
Frederic Birch - 38 years Seaman Widower of 32 Leopold St.
Elizabeth Ann Bratt - 35 years Spinster of 32 Leopold St.
Groom's Father: Robert Birch, Moulder
Bride's Father: William Bratt, (deceased), Jeweller
Witness: Fred Hargreaves; Rose Flear
Married by Banns by: W. L. Cottrell

Hello,

1871 has a Frederick G Birch aged 6 months born Chesham Bucks.
His parents are John and Mary.

1871   1394/104/10

Unfortunately, John and Mary were born abt 1834 and 1831.

Where do you get their years of birth from?

Not him- married someone else

Age 2 was young to go to school wasn't it or do you mean she took him to a random school and left him there  :(
