Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Newcastle birth records - Charles Otterson, born 1882 in Gateshead

I think that Charles and Charlotte were reported to the census taker as being born in Illinois because that way they would be native-born, instead of from England. I don't think that my grandfather knew he was born in Newcastle. He also reported that he was born in San Francisco on several of his children's birth certificates.
