Date of birth record

[Mr.Brown.]

sorry missed you post while i was typing last message
Yes you  findings look as if that could be him in which case it is not AHC so back to square one!

[Rosinish]

Can you tell us where Alfred Henry was born from each census record i.e. is the same place given on each?

Is the yob consistent with 1842 or does it vary on census'?

Who is named as his father on his marriage & what occupation does father have?

When did he marry & who to, so people know who can be eliminated?

"This marriage was at Tynemouth Priory Holy Saviour"

Unfortunately I can't find any records available online for this church,contacting them might help.
