Can anyone help Catherine. She's looking for Arthur Ernest PREECE dob. 25.12.1898. Leominster. Herefordshire His birth cert gives his mothers name as Edith Esther Preece a general domestic servant residence Yarpole..Registered in Leominster in the county of Hereford on the 1st Feb 1899. His actual dob was 25.12.1898. No mother's maiden name is listed. His marriage cert gives his fathers name as Arthur Preece (deceased) who was a farmer. I don't see them anywhere in 1901. Rose

Kath, Could be but I'm thinking the father's name was made up for the marriage certificate. Seems likely that he was born out of wedlock. Rose
