any one that can help would just like to say thanks for your time and help thank you :-)

HI there 'unknown' - welcome to the boards, but what shall we call you? :-D :-D
Have you got the actual cert? If so, what are his parents' names?
Jan

I assume you are using Freebmd? There are lots of Corbett/Jameson births, which you can find easily:

I agree there is a bit of a problem finding a marriage - you really could do with the actual marriage cert if you don't already have it, unless you happen to know the first name for one of grandad's parents.
Jan

this is probably your Robert's baptism

Are these the right parent's names?

Baptisms: 17 Oct 1920 St Nathaniel, Platt Bridge, Hindley, Lancashire, England
Robert Corbett - Child of Joseph Corbett & Alice
Born: 22 Aug 1920
Abode: 123 Tram St.
Occupation: Collier
Baptised by: P. D. Maddock
Register: Baptisms 1911 - 1921, Page 82, Entry 731
Source: Original register at Wigan Archives

This might be the above couple:

Marriages Dec 1915 (>99%)
Barton Alice Corbett Wigan 8c 191
Corbett Joseph Barton Wigan 8c 191

Looks right LancashireAnn - I bet this is Alice's 1st marriage:

Marriages Jun 1910 (>99%)
Barton John Wigan 8c 2
HURST Elizabeth Wigan 8c 2
Jameson Alice Wigan 8c 2
SOUTHWORTH Alfred Wigan 8c 2

possible??

mother's maiden name would show as Jameson. Sometimes the birth certificate would also say 'formerly Jameson late Barton'

beat me to it again Jan!

if that is correct

Marriage: 14 May 1910 St John the Evangelist, Abram, Lancashire, England
John Barton - of 235 Warrington Road, Abram

hi guys thanks for help his father was corbett and his mothers maiden name was jameson
lee :-)

this 1911 matches the death address

John Barton 24
Alice Barton 21
James Barton 4 Moths

living at 2 Navigation St Ince


as we explained above Lee however many times Robert's mother had been married any child's birth certificate would give her surname before her 1st marriage ie her maiden name

What were Robert's parent's first names from his birth certificate?

Joseph Corbett and his widowed mother before the his marriage?
Address also reflects Alice Jameson in 1911.
I guess that Alice Jameson married John Barton and was probably widowed before marrying Joseph Corbett.
