We don't even know if that is the right birth yet though,littleJ needs to come back and confirm if we are on the right track  ;D

Although the father's names of Walter Daniel are looking good!

Further to my previous query (and help from other users) I have the birth cert of my Granddad showing his birth in Walton Gaol. The birthplace is designated USD which I know is Urban Sanitary District. Is this usual for a prison? I assume that his mother was an inmate although I haven't been able to confirm this absolutely 'cos of the lack of available records from Walton.

If you have his birth cert presumably it names his parents and what jobs they did?
Is it possible that his dad was working there. Does it give one address for the birth and another for the usual address of the parents.Who registered the birth,mum or dad or both?
