Unfortunately they didn't have any children but did adopt a girl later. I don't know her name or if it was done officially.

A lot of the time they did'nt put their middle names on census.

He is the only birth in that year or near it and there is no other so it must be him.

Can't be sure that Alexander is the right one as there isn't any mention of his middle name .George.
I might get a copy of his marriage certificate as it will have his age when married and his fathers name.
Bertha Anyon is right as she was my grandmother's sister.
Thanks from your help.

EDIT They have left a number off on his registered birth. They have 8d 69 but not the 3.

There is this birth?

HOWARTH, ALEXANDER mmn FIELDING
GRO Reference: 1888 J Quarter in OLDHAM Volume 08D Page 693

I'll have a look on census and see if I can find him with parents.

It may not be this one but here is a brothers birth to the Alexander I put up.

Wondered if anyone could help with the birth of the above. I think he would be born about 1888 and possibly in Lancashire. In 1914 he married Bertha
Anyon in Preston and he died in Preston 1952 but I'm puzzled about his birth.
Many thanks
