If it’s only an address then it’s likely the workhouse hospital |

Perhaps the sister was actually the mother. |

How soon after the DoB was the birth registered? |

The DOB could,potentially, be as false as the mother is said to be. |

PM from Linda this morning said that the sister was only 17 herself, and that the name of "a boss at the workhouse at Bagthorpe" [Notts.] was on the cert . |

If it is all true ( and we’ve all had family stories disproved) I wonder if the older sister was in a position where she could leave her own workhouse and collected the baby so that he didn’t stay in one. |

She seems to have kept him, whether or not she was his mother, as they were living in the same household in 1921, along with grandparents. |

Unfortunately, if someone told untruths which were recorded by the authorities as fact, there is probably no way of proving/disproving them. |
