Stacey - some of our ancestors are just very good at hiding.

There's all sorts of reasons why we can't see him straight away - the name might have been mistranscribed, maybe his mother had remarried, the family might have been staying with other people and been recorded under that family's name, the census pages may have been lost or destroyed - that's just some of the examples we find.

If we know the father's name and occupation, and the mother's maiden name, it gives us a fighting chance of tracking him down. (Plus, the old certificates are great to have as part of your records).

All I can say is, thank goodness for that * wild card!

I searched on FMP using F*d and didn't have to look far until I saw Helly which must be Kelly.

I have requested corrections to the entries on FMP because I am certain it is Fullard and Kelly.

Will wait to see what FMP say????

thanks so much, I definately think it has to be, as there is no record of a james helly fellard born in gateshead. You have also proven to me how easy it is to follow the wrong family. i cant thank you enough!!

?????????????????

Births Jun 1907 (>99%)
FULLARD Robert Wright Gateshead 10a 1076

Births Jun 1908 (>99%)
Fullard James Kelly Gateshead 10a 1128

Births Mar 1910 (>99%)
FULLARD Mary Emily Gateshead 10a 1026

Deaths Mar 1911 (>99%)
Fullard Mary E 0 Gateshead 10a 522


Mary Emily is one possibility for the child who died?????

Mind you, Robert Wright Fullard looks interesting but I can't pin him down in the 1911 census and can' t find a death either?

Only way to find out would be to buy the certificate.
