I have a Ronald McDonald in my tree!  When I told my family about it, my little grandsons were very excited!  Jumping up and down they said " ooh goody Nanny, does that mean we can get free happy meals??   ;D ;D

I'd tell the manager at your local McDonald's that tale and what your grandsons said, their wish may come true on that visit.  :D Mc's like to hear promotional input and nothing is more sincere than that story.  :)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

The GRO website expands on the earlier names - Leonard Edwin Alexandra Walter - but forgets the other half dozen forenames. :(
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
