It should be entered (if applicable) for "Every person born in a foreign country", per the heading on that column of the form.

Often whoever fills in the form, (William, in the case of the Gateshead family in 1911) doesn't read the heading properly and assumes they have to enter something there even if their family were all born in the UK.


Ancestry's disastrous mistranscription of the Gateshead family in 1911:

The father of Arthur Wilkinson Haswell 1882 was the brother of the grandmother (Eleanor, who married a Wilkinson) of Arthur 1902.

EDIT: NO, see next post.
His grandmother was Eleanor's sister Jane. (I think!)

There are so many Haswells in the area at the time that it's confusing, but I think that's correct.



Arthur 1902's family in 1901:

John William's birth - illegitimate:

HASWELL, JOHN WILLIAM -
GRO Reference: 1867 J Quarter in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE Volume 10B Page 82



So I guess Eleanor Emily Haswell was his mother.
[ EDIT: NO, see next post - it looks as if his mother was Eleanor's sister Jane.]

John Emmerson Haswell was Eleanor's brother (and also Jane's - see also next post.).

I can't see Eleanor and John William together (or separately for that matter) in 1871.

Ah!
Fly in the ointment!


??? Looks as if this should be the baptism of the illegitimate child ???
Though if so, why would the birth be registered as Haswell with no mms?


John William Haswell
in the England & Wales, Christening Index, 1530-1980
Name: John William Haswell
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 12 Aug 1867
Christening Place: Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, England
Father: William Haswell
Mother: Jane Haswell


Can't see any such couple in marriages or censuses.

EDIT:

This looks like that child - with parent's surname Watson. Perhaps the baptism record was doctored for respectability?
