Hi, I'd really appreciate some help on this one. I have my great great grandfathers birth cert and am trying to find anything on his parents. I have his details from 1881 but nothing before: William George Larrett born 1851 in Marylebone, Middlesex. His parents were William Larratt, shoemaker & his mom was Susannah Pratt.

Hi, yes that is him. William was actually born 26 may but only registered in the 3rd quarter. he was born at home at 26 George Street. District Marylebone, Sub-district All Souls.

Hiding somewhere!! I thought initially that maybe he hadn´t been registered straight away as parents were not married - found two marriages in the Sept quarter 1851, one for a Susan Pratt (Chelsea district), the other for a Susannah Pratt (St James Westminster) - but can´t match either of them up to a William Larrett.
