I am hoping to solve the mystery of Wilfred baddeley son of Joseph and Mary Ann (nee Thomas) Baddeley. He was the illegitimate son of Mary born 7th feb 1905.
In 1911 neither Joseph nor Mary are down as having no children, address 11 Broom St.
Next door at no. 9 was a Wilfred Parkin same age but does not seem to have a birth record.
In 1901 Census Joseph Baddeley was at 1 Back Charles St. Was Mary Ann Thomas b 1880 Hanley or George Parkin b 1874 Manchester living in the same area close to Joseph.
It is possible that George and his wife raised Wilfred Baddeley as Wilfred Parkin.
Any feedback or ideas welcome
