Hoping the Pancras one , Arthur Alfred Weeks, was him i did purchase the cert but shows the dad as William Alfred Weeks and mother as Alice Sarah. Dad not as A A Weeks as on later marriage cert of Arthur.

Befuddled alien methinks

From David

What was the occupation of Arthur's father on the birth certificate you have? And what was the maiden name of Alice?

What was the occupation of Arthur's father on the marriage certificate?

I'm veering towards the family from Enfield Lock on the 1901 as both parents and the first four children were all born Exeter, Devon. I'm thinking that with family ties in the area that may be why Arthur born in London ended up marrying someone from Newton Abbot and living in Dawlish.

Sandra,
David originally posted this almost 2 years ago, so might not be expecting any answers on here.
If you click on his name you can contact him through genes directly, and if he still has the same email address genes will notify him of your email.
