Greyghost - yes, you're right. I haven't seen the image, and what I had was from FS:

1871 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KZGB-1JG
Affiliate Image Identifier GBC/1871/3861/0178
John Yates Son M 0 Eccleston, Lancashire

but when I check, piece # rg10/3861 is a piece # in Prescot subdistrict of Prescot RD.

The 117 Prescot subdistrict births in 1871q2 occupy pp 569-580 -abt 9 per wk, and John's was on the first page - looking at the local page refs, John's was one of the first 2 births rego'ed that quarter, so what you're saying is quite reasonable, so I'll go for:

Births Jun 1871 (>99%)
Yates John Prescott 8b 569

greyghost Report 15 Oct 2015 22:53

I know ages are often out on census, but the 1871 says John is 1 month old and that is perhaps not quite so easy to get wrong. So if correct then the birth couldn't have been registered in December 1870????? Just a question ...............

The 1911 has them married 14 years with 4 children born and still living
