	Guessing, there's a fair chance it's the second one as this looks like the mother and siblings of the second one living in Widnes in 1939. You would still need the marriage certificate to confirm his father's name. 1939 REGISTER TRANSCRIPTION Cotterill Household (4 People) 67 Midwood Street , Widnes M.B., Lancashire, England Edith E Cotterill DOB 29 Jun 1887 SEX Female OCCUPATION Unpaid Domestic Duties MARITAL STATUS Married SCHEDULE 174 SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER 1 Frederick Cotterill DOB 10 Oct 1912 SEX Male OCCUPATION Copper Manufacturer Invoice Clerk MARITAL STATUS Single SCHEDULE 174 SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER 2 George A Cotterill DOB 24 Aug 1919 SEX Male OCCUPATION General Copper Manufacturer Labourer MARITAL STATUS Single SCHEDULE 174 SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER 3 Doris Ryan (Cotterill) DOB 18 Aug 1922 SEX Female OCCUPATION Box Maker (Lard Manufacturer) MARITAL STATUS Single SCHEDULE 174 SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER 4 Ref: RG101/4922C/016/30 Letter Code: NXXH © Findmypast Ltd

	Either of these could be Harold's birth. His marriage certificate would provide his father's name. Births Sep 1916 (>99%) Cotterill Harold Burgess Wolstanton 6b 122 Births Dec 1916 (>99%) Cotterill Harold Peake Prescot 8b 1191
