Yes, I remember now, Ken - complicated, and nothing really conclusive.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

OOOH Thank you I saw 1st Feb and thought I had wrong family
Birth cert is 28th May 1842 Its all correct , on birth cert Father is a servant by 1844 constable by 1846/47 he is a superintendent in Kent
I am looking into this family because my G/Grandfather William is with them in kent in1851 census listed as nephew to head age3 born 1848 but in August 1848 he is listed in Baptism of william at St John the Baptist Hoxton London with mother Elizabeth ( barrett )image on ancestry I have a feeling the police super may have a double life
Thank you for checking

The wording on the image isn't "1 Feb born"

It's "Said to be born " and then gives the date 28 May 1842

Would someone check the baptism for Mary Morten at St Marks Kennington in Nov 1844 ANCESTRY seems to have the image i have transcript from LDS but does not show address or occupation.
I have her birth cert from Marylebone in May1842 parents William & Sarah nee Foster fathers occ is Servant I was expecting Met Police also hoping vicar has noted her birth date on baptism record.
I have family on 1851 census and father William is Superintendent of Police in Tunbridge Wells, Kent
