Thos Wakelin birth not on GRO record, completed thank you.
« on: Monday 14 September 09 01:38 UTC (UK) »

I need some help and/or advice please.  Thomas Wakelin's birth does not appear on freeBMD in any guise that I can pick up.  Census info consistently gives his birth year 1847/48 and place as Loughborough.  Family Bible says 2 Aug 1847.

I wondered about errors i.e. that it wasn't transcribed from the county list to the GRO list.  I've checked the Leicestershire Register Office webpage and looks like I could have a search done there if I visit (I'm in NZ Grin) or write in but they need information which I simply don't possess yet (address of birth, mother's maiden name).  The other option is possible baptism.  Any help would be really appreciated.  Cheers, gladyseva

If you look in Family Search, there is a Thomas Wakelin b. 1848, Loughboro in the 1881 census in Nottingham with wife Agnes and 2 sons.

this looks like him with parents
1851
mansfield Rd
hamlet of Carrington
Basford
Notts
George Wakelin Head m 40 Lace maker Barrow on Soar leicestershire
Elizabeth wife 40 Normanton Notts
Emma daughter 15 Mender of lace Basford Notts
George son 14 Basford Notts
Francis son 7 Loughboro leics
Elizabeth daughter 6 Loughboro Leic
Thomas son 4 Loughboroiugh Leics
Mary daughter 12 Clay cross Derby
Ann daughter 2 Beeston Notts
HO107 2127 384 39

Elizabeth 's p.o.b. is given as Normanton Notts on this census - it should be Normanton leics

Registration -although it began sept qtr 1837 it was not compulsory for some years. Most did register  but some did not . There should be a baptism.

I 'll have a look to see if the other children are registered

Regn was always compulsory, just not enforced with fines until 1874.

Prior to that, local Registrars et al were 'incented' to chase up registrations....

Several sites -including ancestry learning centre- give the similar information re Civil registration
A voluntary system of civil registration was introduced 1 July 1837 which also allowed marriages to take place at registrar's ofices .

1871 Registration was mandatory

I think registrars were paid incentives to encourage BMD's to be registered

Anyway - I can't find the birth reg of the Loughboro born children -I'll widen the search

I'll also post 1841/61 census shortly

George changed occupation on each census - 1841 Boatman/1851 lace ,aker/1861 labourer

from Guy Etchells site:

XIX. And be it enacted, That the Father or Mother of any Child born, or the Occupier of every House or Tenement in England in which any Birth or Death shall happen, after the said First day of March, may, within Forty-two Days next after the Day of such Birth or within Five Days after the Day of such Death respectively, give Notice of such Birth or Death to the Registrar of the District ; and in case any new-born Child or any dead Body shall be found exposed, the Overseers of the Poor in the Case of the new-born Child, and the Coroner in the case of the dead Body, shall forthwith give Notice and Information thereof, and of the Place where such Child or dead Body was found, to the Registrar ; and for the Purpose of this Act the Master or Keeper of every Gaol, Prison, or House of Correction, or Workhouse, Hospital, or Lunatic Asylum, or public or charitable Institution, shall be deemed the Occupier thereof.

XX. And be it enacted, That the Father or Mother of every child born in England after the said First Day of March, or in case of the Death, Illness, Absence, or Inability of the Father or Mother, the Occupier of the House or Tenement in which such Child shall have been born, shall, within Forty-two Days next after the Day of every such Birth, give Information, upon being requested so to do, to the said Registrar, according to the best of his or her Knowledge and Belief, of the several Particulars hereby required to be known and registered touching the Birth of such Child.

XXI. And be it enacted, That if any Child of an English Parent shall be born at Sea on Board of a British Vessel, the Captain or Commanding Officer of the Vessel on board of which the said Child shall have been born shall forthwith make a Minute of the several Particulars herein-before required to be inserted in the register touching the Birth of such Child, so far as the same be known, and the Name of the Vessel wherein the Birth took place, and shall, on the Arrival of such a Vessel in any Port of the United Kingdom, or by any other sooner Opportunity, send a Certificate of the said Minute through the Post Office to the Registrar General, who shall file the same, and enter a Copy thereof under his hand in a Book to be kept for that Purpose in "The General Register Office", to be called the "Marine Register Book", and shall keep the said Book with the other Registers, according to the Provisions of this Act.



when you think about it, and read the other stuff in the act about appointing Registrars, setting up Districts, establishing the GRO etc; all that infrastructure was for a good reason about understanding population trends etc etc - so unlikely to be voluntary ....

Possible birth records for some of the children of George and Elizabeth.

Births Jun 1843   
WAKELING  Francis    Loughbro'  15 149

Births Dec 1844   
WAKELIN  Elizabeth     Loughboro  15 154

Births Dec 1849   
WAKELIN  Mary Ann     Loughbro  15 131

Births Sep 1850   
Wakelin  Anne     Basford  15 4[6_]9

Births Mar 1854   
Wakelin  Harriet    Basford  7b 113

Nothing obvious on BMD for Thomas and no baptism record on the usual on-line sources. The best bet might be to obtain the birth certificate of Francis or Harriet. The application can be qualified by giving father’s name to reduce potential cost. The mother’s maiden name on the certificate for either birth should provide Thomas's mother's maiden name (“Measures”?) as indications are that Thomas was brother to both.

Wonder if this is his registration

Birth freeBMD
Male Wakelin
Dec qtr 1845
Loughborough
15 126

they may have not decided on a name when registered - or he could have been registered shortly after birth as he was not expected to survive??


disregard the above - there is a death reg
Male Wakelin Dec qtr 1845 Loughorough 15 91

so looks like he was forgotten -or very badly transcribed???

It looks as though Charlotte (the eldest daughter of George and Elizabeth) may have died 1847:

Deaths Jun 1847   
Loughbro' Vol. 15 Page 113
Wakelin, Charlotte     

If this is Thomas's sister, her death certificate could give an indication of the family's address at that time which is close to Thomas's birth date.

Thanks all of your for your hard work and suggestions.  You have confirmed what I have found and so it's reassuring to know that I'm not just missing the obvious.

I had found both the Geo/Eliz marriages and was going to follow up once I'd found Thos' birth - but thought maybe the Meadows one was too early.  Have just discovered Barton in Fabis is part of Basford registration district so perhaps the Eliz Chamberlain one is the best guess at this stage.  I have to be careful cos there was another Geo/Eliz having chn in Normanton U Soar at similar time, but they are not the right ones and I've confirmed that both sets appear on 1841 census.

I'm grateful too for the Normanton information - I had spotted the two different counties given and then genuki says there's something like 16 Normantons!  Oh, preserve me from these complications.  So can you please tell me in terms of parish records which Normanton records I should be trying to dig out? (Upon Soar, Upon Trent, Upon any other place Undecided)?
cont on next post cos I've run out of room, not sure why

continued from previous post:

I think your combined suggestions of going for a birth cert for one of the siblings and also Charlotte's death should, hopefully, yield some nugget which will progress this search.  If I do that thru the Lei Register Office then I can give them an either/or search option...if you can't find Thomas, please try this one...  Hopefully they'll be responsive and put my cheek down to my colonial heritage!

Then with that little nugget I will then be able to work on the marriage with the first stop being Barton in Fabis.

Loved the law quote, I could get lost in that site!
I'm charmed that you people have given me so much time and cannot thank you enough.  Cheers, gladyseva
