Trouble is James could well be a made up name and occupation.
I know I spent ages looking for a father that was mentioned on my gt grandmothers marriage cert. Then I found her birth in an unmarried mothers home, so giving a name did'nt look as bad as "unknown"

Sorry, I thought original thread was too long ago - I gave up after the last failed attempt 12months ago and am just starting up again.
Thanks anyway

It saves people looking up the same info again Freda

Is it possible to locate the census entries for workhouses by name of the institution or do you have to search for a name and then discover they were an inmate of a poorhouse?

Thanks Jax. Don't think thats him. The extra info I'd added to the deleted thread was that he married Alice Bell in Oldham 1908 and that a link to Gloucester has been unearthed - he was on a ship in 1904 and place of birth stated as Gloucester.

There are no births for Albert Keiley apart from his son in 1909.

So either Keiley was not his name or he was not born in England or Wales

Thanks Lesley, I'll follow up on Keighley as adopted son - could be a lead. Think I've got to accept Keiley not correct spelling - he must have just adopted this when he went to sea in 1904. Tenuous links to Gloucester but this Albert is linked to Oldham and I know he was married there,

Thanks everyone
