Manchester Records Look up Request Please

[oliebarton]

Hi

If anybody is visiting Manchester Records Office please can they kindly check a birth certificate please.

Joseph Simmons 1906 Jan-Mar
Ashton Under Lyne
Vol 8d
Page 473

I presume that is all that is needed as never requested one before

Thanks

Olie

Unfortunately birth certificates cannot be checked. The only way to get the information is to buy the certificate.

Have you checked 1911 census or looked for a baptism?

Shows mother as Littleford.

Thanks for the messages

My usual routes through sites I can find her birth date but not any first names of his parents.
Littleford will be correct. I can find him living with another set of grandparents on the 1911 census.

Which grandparents is he with? Are they Simmons or Littleford or another name.
I can’t see Joseph except for a brief tree mention which has father as Thomas but no details.
Is that from his marriage certificate, I wonder.

Hi thanks
Living with an  Sophia Bowers as his gran in the 1911 census. She was married to a Edwin.

Thanks.
I had looked at that family In 1901 but didn’t make the connection.
Presumably, Joseph is not the son of Eliza Pook?

[heywood]

If I have the right family in 1911, the child Joseph is born 1910/11 with mmn Shanny

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
No he was born 6th Dec 1905.
I’m actually posting this for a friend. He believes Joseph father was Thomas but never married. He doesn’t have a mother’s name but believes surname was Littleford.
I’m trying to establish the correct family and Joseph mother for him
