Thanks, all. I have been out of town most of the day and will try to get this all set in my mind tomorrow.

On Cheshire BMD it shows George Dawson being born in 1861 and his mother’s maiden name being Dawson. It says the Subdistrict is Audenshaw and that she Registers him at Tameside. George says he was born in Droylsden on census reports and ships’ manifests. Can you explain the relationship between Droylsden, Audenshaw, Tameside, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire to me? I think England has at least one additional geographic division than I am used to.  In Maine where I live we are first divided by counties and then towns. I think England has, districts, subdistricts , counties, and towns, but I get confused. So was George born in the town of Droylsden, in the subdistrict of Audenshaw, in the county of Lancashire? Where does Tameside and Ashton Under Lyne come in? I think I have seen things about George and Ashton Under Lyne as well.  Thank you.

Hi
I live in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire which since 1974 has been  in the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside.

I was born in Denton but my parents had to register my birth in Audenshaw as that was the registration district at that time, as it was for Droylsden births.

You could buy the birth record from the General Register Office(GRO)

DAWSON, GEORGE       - 
GRO Reference: 1861  September Quarter in ASHTON UNDER LYNE  Volume 08D  Page 391

As there is no mother's maiden name shown,  the father's name will not be shown

On Cheshire BMD it shows George Dawson being born in 1861 and his mother’s maiden name being Dawson.

To avoid confusion.  There is a difference between the display in a local BMD and in the GRO index.  The Cheshire index does not mean his mother and father were both named Dawson.  It is the mother's name repeated.
