Hi, thankyou so much for that, it is very much appreciated.

Thankyou all for your suggestions.

I am wondering if this is Joseph in 1911
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X49G-MRP

Barrow in Furness is not that far away from Lancaster.  I have a family member in Barrow in 1911 whose family was in Morecambe 

Thankyou for that rosie, after getting hold of may's birth certificate it says joseph is an iron moulder so i'm pretty sure this is him in 1911!

Hi, I would be grateful if anyone can help me figure a few things out, it's a little complicated so i'll do my best to explain.

In the 1911 census living in st leonards gate, Lancaster is Delilah Patchett and her two daughters, annie and may. Annie's birth year is stated as 1905/6 but I cannot find any birth registered anywhere around that time for her.

I know that Annie Patchett married William gamble in 1923, they are living in Lancaster in the 1939 register which states she was born in 1905, her sister may Patchett is unmarried and living with them, her birth year is 1909 yet the only birth I can find for a may patchet is 1907, the mothers maiden name is Bates, I have found a Delilah bates born 1870 in Oldham which fits with what is written in the 1911 census.

I am still unable to find a record for delilah's marriage to someone with the surname Patchett, I don't know where her husband is in the 1911 census as it still says she's married not widowed and there is no trace of the 3 children they lost according to the 1911 census, there is also no trace of Delilah Patchett in the 1901 census.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
