Can Anyone help with my search for a birth certificate pleas? And Im not sure if this is how I post something)?
Seeking a birth in the Derbyshire/Notts/lincolnshire area for George Price born abt 1851 - 1855
mother Jane Attrick/Hatterick.
Cant be more accurate as Im searching in the dark really, but believe his birth is there somewhere. The one in Lincoln in 1854 is not him (I checked the obvious) Ideas please would be welcome.?
My cousin Rosie has had some success and helped me a lot but we are stuck on this birth.
Thanks :-\

Private John Cunningham 12th (S) Bn The East Yorkshire Regiment
VC won France, 13 November 1916
London Gaz 13 January 1917
Born 28 June 1897 Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire,
Died 21 February 1941, Kingston-upon-Hull
Buried Western Cemetery Hull
His medal is held at Prince of Wales's Regiment Museum, York
Gazetted: 13 January 1917
First World War: On 13 November 1916, the opening day of the Battle of the Ancre (the final offensive of the Battle of the Somme), attacking from opposite Hebuterne near Bapaume, the 31st Division was to seize the German trenches and form a defensive flank north of Serre. After the enemy's front line had been captured, Private Cunningham went with a bombing section up a communication trench where much opposition was met and all the rest of the section were either killed or wounded. Collecting all the bombs from the casualties Private Cunningham went on alone and when he had used up all the bombs he had he returned for a fresh supply and again went up the communication trench where he met a party of 10 Germans. He killed all 10 and cleared the trench up to the new line. His conduct throughout the day was magnificent.
Hull Pals
The first Hull Pals battalion was formed on the 29th August 1914 at Wenlock Barracks and formed part of the East Yorkshire Regiment. Within three months Hull had four 'pals' battalions. All 'pals' battalions had their own nickname. The 10th (Service) battalion called themselves the Hull Commercials. The three battalions that followed were called the Hull Tradesmen (11th (Service) battalion), the Hull Sportsmen (12th (Service) battalion) and the T'Others (13th (Service) battalion).
The Hull Pals also won two Victoria Crosses in the First World War. They were awarded to Pte John Cunningham of the Hull Sportsmen battalion on the 13th November 1916 for his heroic actions in the Battle of the Somme and 2nd Lt. John Harrison of the Hull Tradesmen
