Birth date and baptism date are unlikely to be the same

Why not buy a copy of his birth cert?

How did you find out the mother's maiden name?

If this marriage relates to the couple on the census, it was a close call

1884 Marriage
KELLY William - O'BRIEN Annie .
Liverpool, St. Peter Liverpool .

Maybe John was born before parents married in which case he may be registered as O'Brien... just a thought

If you look at that 1911 census William's wife is deceased - but has still been transcribed in error - she's crossed out. Looks like he listed his 3 living children - I doubt the married ones were actually still at home.

Now that we've found John's birth date, which is what Colette asked for, I suspect we're just amusing ourselves with all this other info!

Is that the case, Colette?

Thank you all I had a feeling he may have been born before they wed as all the other kids were baptised so thought it odd.

Thanks Colette
