A member who is currently off line has asked me to put this up as we think we have solved it

Name: Grace E Eccles
Year of Registration: 1911
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Bradford
County: Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire
Volume: 9b
Page: 499

Grace Elsie was born right before her mother married Crossthwaite.

Edit: So she was registered Eccles but her father was Mr Crossthwaite so she used that on her marriage cert.

This is the only Grace Elsie birth who comes up on freeBMD around 1911, the area is correct.
