Thank you Jebber, I'll look again on ancestory! as the dates you found are obviously different to Walters 'celerbrated' birthday!
thanks a lot for your help, I'll be back👍👍👍
For future reference, you need to be a little flexible with birth registrations.
The index are divided into quarters, March, June, September and December covering three months, and as you have 42 days in which to register a birth, it can often appear in the following quarter. It is quite normal to find a birth in say early March, not registered until April, so it will appear in the June quarter, as does Walter's birth.
Deaths are usually registered within five days, so unless the death occurs on last couple of days of a quarter, they appear when expected. Marriages are always found in the quarter when it took place.
You will pick up a lot of helpful tips as you progress with your research.
