Oh goodness thank you all so much, this is great. I have just got back from uk so will have a closer look at these. Some of these addresses were unknown to me and now I know.

Thank you all again

Erika, can you view the birth of Fred Rodgers Nelson and if so does it say who his father is. Thank you

Sorry, you need to buy a copy of the cert"

However, as the MMN on the record is Nelson, odds are he was illegitimate. It may have been a MR Rogers, but that is speculation

William and Edith both have MMN Foulkes

Amelia’s maiden name was Foulkes - her husband was James Nelson

She’s a widow in 1901
