You need to establish the exact years of birth first

You dads birth record will show mmn so you can look for his siblings

hi Shirley,
thank you in your research the correct person is Howarth, William Black , I do have the parents name and wedding cert , I am hoping that any living relatives can assist with info as lost touch when we moved away from Lancashire . most of the family seem to have been showmen so that makes it harder to gain info any suggestions would be great

4 possible children born from 1944 Middleton reg district

There is a marriage of a George E Howarth to Florence J Briggs 1943 in Middleton, so are the 4 Middleton births (2 boys, 2 girls) starting 1944 more likely to be from that marriage??

If the 1937 marriage of William Howarth to Frances Briggs in Liverpool North is the right William then there is only 1 birth in Liverpool in 1944, but that is a male.

One further Howarth/Briggs birth in Bolton 1955, again male

Shirley, has hit on the right way to solve this search, there are two births
in 3rd quarter 1917 for a William Howarth the one in Prescot being correct,
and two deaths with birth dates that would be registered in 3rd quarter 1917.
William Howarth b 23/6/1917 died 1999 West Lancashire
William Howarth b 8/7/1917 died 2003 Chesterfield, purchase of birth and
correct death certificate, knowledge then obtained could lead to living relations.
