George LUNN

As I have already said it is quite likely that the birth was not registered.  Although registration was introduced in 1837 there were still quite a few births that did not get registered. The registration system was tightened up mid 1870's. 

It is quite likely that Georges mother was resident in Wrawby at the time of Georges birth, the family could have been resident there for a short while. She then moved to be with Levi in Bolton. Bolton & Wrawby are not really that far apart.  At least the place of has not suddenly changed after he left home.

Might be that what I am looking for just does not exist!

Would the parents have had to produce something for the baptism?

No

No 

So a possible explanation is that the birth was not registered but then they decided to get him baptised.... except that the baptism took place less than 5 months after they were married!

Possible then that George was born out of marriage and then they waited a few months before the baptism?

Sorry, got out of sync then!

Yes, it is like doing a jigsaw, with pieces missing!!

A kiss  ^* for the person who can explain the relative birth dates of George and his bro Levi just 7 places below him in the baptism list.

^*My first though was a pint, but that seemed a bit rash!
