Birth for Alexander Donkin
« on: Monday 20 July 20 13:53 BST (UK) »
I am unable to find a birth registration for Alexander Donkin.  I have his baptism as 03/03/1850 and know that he was married 25 August 1873 at Horton Parish Church.  He died 17/03/1903 of double pneumonia at Bebside, Blyth, Northumberland.  Does anyone know where I should be looking to find his birth record apart from Ancestry?
Thanks
Kath

You don't say where he was born or who his parents were.  The 1861 has 2 entries - one b Cullercoates & one b Warkworth plus one b Durham

Who did he marry - there are 2 Alexander Donkin marriages in 1873 - yours is presumably the one in the September qtr
