sorry I don't know the mothers name as I don't have a birth certificate.

Thanks for the info I can have a look at the census for that address.

That's the trouble with a common name it's like looking for a jones in a haystack.

Those baptisms were before the marriage posted so maybe the wrong marriage...........

To be sure that you don't follow the wrong family, buy the birth certificate and go from there.
