Linda,

Was this helpful at all?

If you read the responses, his father is listed in 1891.

Ralph C Oliver
Death Registration Month/Year: 1946
Age at death (estimated): 58 Registration district: Durham Northern
Inferred County: Durham Volume: 1a Page: 356

Births Dec 1887
Oliver Ralph Chisholm Gateshead 10a 773

As Rose said initially, this birth for Ralph is on free bmd, you then need to get the birth certificate for mother and father, to 'confirm' the 1891 entry is the correct Ralph.
We can go further back, but it is much better with proof.

The trouble with census records is that sometimes one of the "parents" could be a stepmother or father.
Alway best to check the certificate before going any further.
