I have a Lilly Boulton born in 1890, father William Boulton b1871, Caroline Scrase b1872. Lilly Boulton married Thomas Strong b 1890. They had my nan Lily Strong b 1918 and there was a son Henry b 1916 which I have found. I have now been told by family that there was a Tom (Thomas?), who was the eldest child. I cant find Tom any where...could be going screen blind! For Lilly Boulton 1890 I have found a brother William b 1898. I have now been told she possibly had a brother Reggie Boulton. They were all born in Barton Hill, Bristol I cant find any of these. Can any one please help Thanks

All births registered after 1912 have the mothers maiden name. I used familatives.org as it is the most accurately transcribed for 1866-1920. It is pay per search, but worth it when you find that missing one :) I'll have a quick look for the others, but no promises. You could also try FreeBMD or the BMD images on Ancestry (also free)

Not sure what Daw is short for, could be Doris. I just tried one, a practise on Thomas and hit the jack pot. Think I been on here for to long today Thanks v much for your help
