Is this your Ella's birth??? Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1917 (98%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brown James W Fairhall Newhaven 2b 234 >>>>Corlett Ellen M Keep Newhaven 2b 234 Everest Frank S Harriott Newhaven 2b 234 Tolhurst Horace L Eager Newhaven 2b 234 Webber Kathleen Taylor Newhaven 2b 234 If so ......... get the birth certificate and it will tell you the mother's full name, father's age (possibly) and occupation, which may give us a lead into finding him on the censuses. To get a certificate, go to www.gro.gov.uk, follow instructions for Obtaining Certificates. It will cost £7.

HI Reg i wonder if this is my man and i am wondering if he was in Newhaven Sussex by 1901 as far as i know he was a merchant seaman and so was his son who was born in Newhaven.......

The 1881 is very odd, actually....... check it out on the LDS site You may find it better to search using the name Henry, born 1868. Living in Cleator, Cumberland Reg

How do you know Leonard was born 1919?? I've searched 1919 and first quarter 1920 on the Complete Index on ancestry ................... no sign of a Leonard.

Gary, Reg is right, no sign of Benjamin Corlett on the censuses, which is weird. Even if he had been a sailor, the odds of him never appearing from birth is strange! I think you have to get Ellen's birth certificate, and then go from there.
