Re: Wattleworth family history
In Response To: Re: Wattleworth family history ()

This is the GRO reference (from the website FreeBMD) for the birth cert which I think you were referring to:

Births Jun quarter 1853
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Wattleworth John Robert Wirral 8a 407?

If he was born in March it is most likely he would be entered in the June quarter. If you supply the ref number the cert is cheaper to buy from the GRO.
However the person who transcribed it has put a "?" next to the page number, which must have been difficult to read, so it might be safer to order it from the local RO.

Cheshire birth records can be searched here: www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi

A search for his birth shows:
Cheshire Birth indexes for the years: 1853
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
WATTLEWORTH John Robert Birkenhead Wirral BIR/23/49

If you click on the Reference, above, it shows you a form to fill in to buy his birth cert, and gives instructions.
