Just wondered if you had found them on 1939 register, to see what birth dates they claimed?

Also posted on your other  thread as they appear to both cover the same subject  :)

Hi Dorothy

I really think that you need to purchase this 1914 certificate which would confirm any information that your mother has told you  ;)
ALFRED EVAN JONES
1914  September Quarter
CHORLTON reg dist
Volume 08C  Page 1401   

As you know who his mother was so you would know if you had the wrong certificate.  This really is the only way to sort out this problem as to when and where he was born.

We appear to have conflicting information:

Dorothy says that Alfred Evan was born 27 September 1910 in Wales.
FreeBMD/GRO shows a birth registration for Alfred Evan in September quarter 1914 - Manchester

Findagrave shows an entry for Alfred Evan in Southern Cemetery - born 27 September 1910, died 9 August 1946
FreeBMD shows a death registration in September quarter 1946 - Manchester Registration District aged 31 and this is confirmed on the GRO website as Alfred Evan Jones aged 31

If Alfred Evan was born in 1910 then he would be more than 31 years old when he died in 1946.


I have posted this on the other thread as well

Re the entry on Find a Grave, there is no photo of a headstone, so we don’t know exactly what it says. It depends whether his birth was entered from the cemetery records or whether it was added to the site by a relative doesn’t it? All the paper evidence adds up to a 1914 birth, but it’s very odd.
