William Alfred Hyde Manchester

[CaroleW]

Only 3 William Alfred Hyde births between 1885-1900.  One in Lancs - father James.  One in Wales - father Joshua and one in Surrey 1898 that I'm still trying to find in 1901

Thanks Carole, I went running with the one with James until I got the marr cert then realised it was the wrong father, let's hope the one in Surrey is a William Alfred.
Thanks Jill

In 1901 Hackney, London, there is a William A Hyde aged 1 his father is William J Hyde and he's a wholesale grocer.
How am I going to know which one is mine?

Not having any luck at the moment

the father of William Alfred Hyde, Manchester, source marriage cert- married Ethel Gatliffe May 1920 St Agnes, Manchester, died Feb 1944.

I can't see any marriage in 1920 with either of those names

I did have to go to m/c lib for a copy of cert, not sure if they're on ancestry yet.
Sorry it's 1921 and she is called Ethel smith because she's a widow and he was 33 yrs when he married I was looking on the one above🙄

[CaroleW]

That makes a big difference to his birthyear.  Aged 33 in 1921 makes birthyear approx 1888 which fits in with his age at death

[CaroleW]

The marriage was in St Agnes North Redditch Stockport which is Cheshire as per www.cheshirebmd.org.uk

Very tenuous but see what you think

Birth in St Olave RD Sept qtr 1889 for an Alfred William Hyde

1891 - can't find him

1901 - he's an inmate at Upton House Truant School aged 13

This looks interesting, I'll investigate that birth in St Olave, Bermondsey, and the truant school in 1901 is quite amusing 
Thanks for your efforts Carole most appreciated
