I was going through my St Chads baptismal records and I found the baptism of John Frederick Wilkes on the 7th January 1855 (he was born on the 2nd January). His father is given as JOHN Wilkes and his mother is Louisa Simpson. Going back and forward through the church records I found two other Wilk/e/s baptisms - Mary (1849) and George (1853). Going back to the GRO records I found the following ...

WILKES, THOMAS*           SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1847  S Quarter in BIRMINGHAM  Volume 16  Page 222

WILKES, MARY  FRANCES      SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1849  D Quarter in ASTON UNION  Volume 16  Page 208

WILKES, GEORGE           SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1853  J Quarter in ASTON  Volume 06D  Page 207

WILKES, JOHN  FREDERICK      SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1855  M Quarter in ASTON  Volume 06D  Page 264

*Thomas Wilkes is the son of Thomas Wilkes and Eliza Wilkes nee Simpson. The other 3 are brothers and sister.

It could well be that all the above is a co-incidence but it's well worth looking at. There was only one birth on the GRO records for a John Frederick Wilkes in 1855 and it shows his registration as being during the first quarter (Jan - Feb - Mar) therefore it is likely that he put down the wrong birth date on the 1939 Register.
