Thanks Reg,

That's my way of thinking, but how would I go about tracing his birth name?

I've looked at all the Matthew's born around this time in the Hayfield area and managed to trace them through on the census's.

Is there any other way I can go about it?

Thanks,
Joanne.

Thanks Glitter Baby.

That's Matthew's family on the 1881 census, but where was Matthew and where is he before this date?

The only thing I can think is that he was born under another surname.

At the time of his birth I am unable to find a Matthew Kellett born in the Hayfield area. I've looked at all the Matthew's born around this time in the Hayfield area and managed to trace them through on the census's.

Is there any other way I can go about tracing him if he was born with another surname?

Joanne.
