TRYING TO FIND BIRTH GRO ORDER NUMBER

[PippaR]

Can someone please help provide the GRO order number for the birth of William Bennett c1856 (unmarried mother Ann Bennett who possibly named the father William).  I can't find this birth on Ancestry.

Mother (Ann) was living in Buckley Street, Manchester when first two sons were born in 1849 (John) and 1851 (Joshua) and living at 77 Tame Street when 4th child (Charles) was born in 1864. 

From William's marriage certificate in 1875, his age works out at around 1856 but I am just making a best guess.  Don't know where Ann was living but assume in close proximity to the other locations.  Would appreciate some input please.

Cheers, PippaR

Thanks all for your replies, good help.

I didn't know the GRO would help with the mother's name, so I will give that a go.  This is exactly what I was after so thanks again.

cheers, PippaR

Might not have been registered.   It wasn't compulsory until about 1875.

This is a stab in the dark - on your first post you stated

I wonder if William was the father of Joshua also ...if so - could he be William PRESCOTT ??
have a look at this marriage record in 1875 and note Joshua Bennett fathers name ??

or am I clutching at straws ??
