Yes, the info was from the 1891 census - but you have sorted that.
Henry Woodcock married Sarah Ann Shakeshaft in Dec Q 1888 (Warrington RD). Austin had an older sister shown on the 1891 Census as Annie (aged 4). An Annie Woodcock was registered in Warrington RD in Dec Q 1886 - before the marriage of Henry and Sarah Ann.
I am reluctant to obtain the certificates here as I have offered to help someone else who believes it is her family and especially that Austin Woodcock is hers. I hope to be seeing her tomorrow.
Though in the 1891 census Henry was recorded as being born in America in the 1901 he is recorded as born in Liverpool
. in the 1901 the family - all four of them - were in Wigan, Lancashire. Ages tally and Austin is single and born in Warrington (as 1891). In 1911 he is on his own in Sheffield recorded as a nephew. The Head's wife's maiden surname was Woodcock. There is more to find out about this chap but as I said he is not really mine..
My main aim at the moment is to find a baptism . . . . . with help

Thanks Garstonite for your two most recent posts. They arrived while I was constructing this.

Do you know this for a fact

Henry Woodcocks wife was Sarah Ann - why not Annie Sarah as stated in the census ?
if you can`t find a birth for Austin WOODCOCK ...
Could this be a possible ??
consider that ANNIE Sarah was his wifes name in 1901 - aged 30 ...daughter Sarah Annie aged 14
so Annie had Sarah aged 15 or 16 ..
COULD THIS BE HENRY AND ANNIE ??
1898 Henry Woodcock and ANNIE BUCK at St Marys,Walton on the Hill ,Liverpool
www.lancashirebmd.org.ukcould Austin have been born Austin Buck ? - I couldn`t find Austin Buck - but it could be a mistranscription of Buck - Beck - Buick etc ...otherwise - where is Austin Woodcock ??...I think Sarah Annie and Austin were both given Annie`s maiden name - and that`s why you can`t find them ...Henry was TEN years older than Annie - and if she was 15/16 when Sarah Annie was born and Henry was married ....this may be the cause of the non existent baptism ...Austin Woodcock b 1887/88 Warrington doesn`t exist
Henry Woodcock b Liverpool
Henry Woodcock married in Liverpool is more feasible
you have my sympathy - this is a very difficult problem ....
I am not saying I am right
I am saying - if Austin Woodcock b Warrington 1887/88 cannot be found - that wasn`t his given birth name .
so you have to consider every possible option
the best of luck - you are going to need it - but don`t give up ...this is the REAL research ...the really difficult ones
