Leominster area Baptism for an Albert Tongue or Hart 1869-1871 please

[Ali Smith]

I have spent the last 10 years trying to break down this brick wall . I suspect my g grandfather Albert Edward price was actually Albert Tongue - I can find him in the 1871,1881 and 1891 censuses as Albert Tongue living in Leominster with his grandparents Edward and Mary Tongue however I cannot find any birth for him on GRO, Ancestry or Find my past . Any help would be much appreciated - Albert Tongue disappears by 1901 however Albert Edward Price appears . I suspect he is the illegitimate child of James Tongue who married Elizabeth Hart in 1876 and goes on to have 3 children with her . Elizabeth is only 14 and a servant on the 1871 census so she could be the mother or maybe not
Any help with a possible baptism or birth would be really appreciated

I assume that you have ruled this birth certificate out
Births Sep qtr 1871   
Albert Edward Price mothers maiden name Goode
Leominster    6a   521

Marriage June qtr 1861 
Goode    Sarah       
Price    William       
Leominster reg dist    6a   928

Fathers details on marriage certificates are known to be wrong.

[Ali Smith]

yes I have - been to the archives and seen that baptism - mistranscribed as father james but is William the father and does not fit in with later details . Sent off for the birth certificate as well to check but no I would have liked that one as it links in to the Scudamore family local gentry 

[rosie99]

I think that if he was Albert Tongue he would be more likely to be the son of any sister of James Tongue rather than James.

I am more inclined with going with the Albert Edward Price son of William/James Price & Sarah Goode.
Marriage certificates are sometimes wrong when fathers name is supplied.  Maybe a DNA test would help

Albert Tongue the grandson of Edward Tongue in 1871 is aged 1 b Kington (1881: 12 b Kington).

Birth reg should therefore be in Presteigne or Kington reg districts (these were reorganised in 1870).
