Cannot find a birth for Albert Thomas 1927 Chestefield or any where else

Barbara

You are having the same trouble as me with the births

Maureen

The pension record I posted mentions his wife as Mary Beckett and 1 child, Mary b 31 Aug 1914 in Chesterfield.

I can't find Albert's birth either!

Strange but Gillian does not even have a place of birth listed for Albert on her tree

I Have tried all the site I can think of but no Albert's birth as stated in the thread July 1927 Chestefield
I have tried Chesterfield Straffordshire as well and there is another but in Scottish Boarder

Have found the marriage details for Albert Thomas in 1954

Will not post the details as no idea if Albert & Wife are still alive

Hi Glitter Baby
Does he have a middle name

Barbara

No unfortunately he does not

Maureen

Think the marriage cert for your parents will have to be purchased to confirm the name of his father

At the moment not looking as if Robert Thomas and Mary are his parents

thank you for replies,they are all dead now,i have found all their marriage cert,and a few death cert ,but cannot find birth.only ones i no are albert 1927,ethel1935 and ronald1925, albert and ethel are the only ones i knew and had the same mother but cannot find a mothers maiden name to match the two.none of them have a middle name only lilian m,but have also checked through names with middle names just in case they didnt use them stll cannot find a name that links them all. thank you.
