	Have you searched for the birth? No point looking for a death until you know the name and year of birth

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,446 Send Message	Have you considered the option the child was born before the marriage and may have had the Douthwaite name? T x
Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 455 Send Message	cookie18	Report	19 May 2010 15:48
	oops sorry yes its GILMORE that i'm searching his mother was called Mary Douthwaite sue
Member Since: February 2010 Posts: 18,936 Send Message	Flick	Report	19 May 2010 15:48
	Where did you get the info about them having a child?
Member Since: February 2010 Posts: 18,936 Send Message	Flick	Report	19 May 2010 15:49
	Was Douthwaite 100% the mother's maiden name? Or could she have been married before?
Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 455 Send Message	cookie18	Report	19 May 2010 15:50
	No i havent, but almost sure he was born after marriage, maybe not salford/manchester as mary was born in malton yorkshire sue
Member Since: November 2007 Posts: 11,745 Send Message	FannyByGaslight	Report	19 May 2010 15:50
	I cant find a birth for that combination of names. As Tracey says,maybe born before marriage..

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,446 Send Message	You need to order the marriage cert and see what Mary's status was. She might have been married to a Douthwaite previously had the child, who would have remained a Douthwaite. The childs birth would however reveal something completely different maiden name wise!

	If it is the Christopher Gilmore born in Salford in 1900 he had a brother Harry who married Elizabeth Goodall. They had a son Harry who dies age 5 in Salford. Is it possible they are getting the brothers confused in their memory?
	Researching: More in hope than expectation!

	When was Mary born?
