James/John Caddick 1883

[RayDen]

on the 1901 Wales census in Merthyr Tydfil I have a Ellen Caddick nee Griffiths(wife of a Edward Caddick who is in SA in boer war) living with 2 of her brothers and a Jas (James/John) Caddick shown as brother-in-law.

James/John is shown as born 1884 in Tipton Staffs (the census shows Glam but is incorrectly transcribed) and I assume (?) brother of Edward Caddick born 1876 Tipton Staffs.

Now I do believe that Edward is an illegitimate birth based on baptism records and military attest information.

What I trying to find is any other information on James/John Caddick. If he is illegitimate I believe this would be his birth certificate:

Name   John Caddick
Registration Date   1883[1883]
Quarter of the Year   Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration Place   Dudley, Staffordshire, England
Volume   6c
Page   81

The 1901 census is the only concrete information I have:

Ellen Caddick  20      Head
Jas Griffiths    22      Brother
Jas Caddick    17      Brother-in-law

Rather long winded but would welcome any assistance with James/John Caddick
NOTE: I have all Information on Edward from birth to death.

You can buy a digital copy of his birth cert for £3 to establish his mothers name.  GRO online is showing no mmn so clearly illegitimate

Same for Edward

The GRO shows mmn as ‘-‘ for that record but there is another, also Dudley, same quarter, mmn Ellis. Vol 6c, page 97. Both available for £3 (each) from the GRO

Thanks both, use gro all the time, didn't think about the digital record. I know that Edward,s mother was Sarah Anne Caddick.

Ordered birth certs for Edward and John. Edwards mother Sarah Anne Caddick, Johns mother Emma Jane Caddick. Birth addresses for both are about 1.5 miles apart in Tipton Staffs. Sisters??

Thanks for the information on digital copies had not been aware of that

The digital records option is fantastic, especially when you are not sure it’s the one you’re looking for. As it gives all you need, I haven’t bought the full certificate since the digital option came in.
