Thank you very much for your help I will need to think about it as this is confusing me

Often the person who registered the birth couldn't read or write so the registrar just wrote down what he heard. Arthur Dolton Jun 1880 Warwick 5d _51. The first digit of the reference number has not been transcribed but judging by the other numbers used in Warwick it is probably a 6 (651).

Did he have a middle name? Could he have been registered at a much later date when it was realised he would need a birth certificate for some reason or another? Do any of the Dalton image pages for 1879-80 have a pencilled footnote indicating that the birth was registered later? All of the Arthur Daltons (on FreeBMD) registered after 1877 were in Warwickshire Births Mar 1890 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dalton Arthur Coventry 6d 513 Births Sep 1893 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dalton Arthur James Rugby 6d 541 Births Jun 1895 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dalton Arthur Franklin Coventry 6d 560 Births Mar 1896 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dalton Arthur Birmingham 6d 131

I don't know as I always took it as Dalton may be they spelt it different if you could get the number for me I could check it out would be grateful thank you

There's an Arthur Dolton Jun 1880 registration district Warwick on FreeBMD. Could that be him? I just searched for all Arthurs born in 1879/80 Warwick.

Yes that is him but can't find his actual birth registration number. No problem thank you any way

He has his father's name but don't know who his mum was as she didn't want him was going to give him up but some one took him and his father or father's family paid for his education

Arthur Dalton is his name and thank you as I am still looking for him

Val If you give us his name we may be able to help. nell

My grandad was born out of wedlock on the 1881 cencus he was a 1yr old did they have to register all births in that era as I am having problems finding it as on cencus it said born Kenilworth Warwickshire though I can't find birth at that time
