Thank you anyway John I'm very grateful for your help, it was very kind of you to go to the trouble. I'm a bit rusty not having done any research for about 5 years, after 20 years of it!!  My niece brought it up tonight, she's finally taking an interest, well her daughter is, so I'm pleased about that.
Stay safe in these very strange times won't you.
Kind regards
Su

Su,

None of the Knaresborough birth registrations have been transcribed yet for the Yorkshire BMD.

Thank you John. I spoke to a friend this morning about Yorkshire BMD and she said the same as you, lots of people looked on YorkshireBMD without results, now we know why.
Kind regards

Hi John
Just to say that Washington Birch was born prematurely and was baptised the same day
and at the same time as 5 other babies at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Bradley, West Yorkshire. His birth was never registered and consequently there is no birth certificate.
This has been confirmed by someone who has been researching Alice Flatman (wife of Washington Birch) who went to the church and looked through the records.
So I can confidently put that one to bed.
Thank you again for your kind help in this matter
Regards
Su

Hi Su, thanks for letting me know and all others that read your post the outcome. It's very pleasing to have helped as far as I could but more so with you replying, many others just do not bother.

Keep safe

John
