Rose, I've got the 1st quarter of 1913 to come up, but the names stop at Thompson and then the page is black, and I think the rest of the 'T's' are missing. This quarter needs checking on Findmypast. Kath. x

I can't get the Jan qtr of 1913 for births to come up on Ancestry. Has that qtr been checked? I think you need to check the deaths. You might get a date of birth from that. Rose

Could this be his death (which gives a possible birth date):- Name: William Matthew Turton Birth Date: 11 Feb 1911 Death Registration Month/Year: Jan 2000 Age at death (estimated): 88 Registration district: Warrington Inferred County: Cheshire, Lancashire Register number: C53C Entry Number: 139 UPDATE - the birth for this one seems to be the one in Warrington that you have already ruled out. Are you certain that it isn't the one? Could the name on the marriage certificate have been put down as William by mistake as the grooms name was William too? Kath. x
