Birth of Willy Wyatt

[Lazarus]

Thank you everyone for trying.
I have checked with both High Peak and DFHS.
They cannot locate a birth record for Willy Wyatt.
I can confirm that the suggestion of Groom was another Wyatt family.

It's very odd isn't it? Given they were so exact about his age at death that means he must have been born May/June 1888, yet there are no births registered then in that name. There is a William Martin Wyatt born June quarter 1888 Burton, but that is over 50 miles from where your Willy Wyatt was expected to have been born. I think he is the William M Wyatt with parents William and Eleanor in 1901, so not yours either.

It looks very much as if Willy wasn't registered. The only other hope might be to try and find the parish records for Glossop where he was buried and see if he was also baptised there.

It is certainly very odd.
His assumed mother had numerous apparently illegitimate children between 1875 and 1892.
She died 1900 aged 39 having finally married.
The mind boggles.

His assumed mother had numerous apparently illegitimate children between 1875 and 1892.

Have you found the birth of the other children? Perhaps as they were illegitimate she just didn't bother to register them thinking it would get her into trouble. Obviously with the death she had no choice.

I have the birth for all of the other children.Thats why this one is unusual.
In a few cases I have eventually identified the father as named when the child married.
