You can get a digital copy of the birth certificate for £2-50. One you have the mother’s name you can look for a possible marriage for her. If she kept the child he may have taken the stepfather’s.

Thanks for your help, but he is not on any census after his 1885 birth?

How do you know he is not on any census, if his mother married after his birth, he may have taken a stepfather’s name as I said. Then you would need to look for him under that name. I have come across many such examples in both my own and other people’s trees.

Just noticed that the 1891 for Emily does have a Christopher W Evered age 4 born Stroud living with her, I will amend my earlier post

[Kay99]

There is this marriage in Cheltenham RD after his birth but no Christopher with her and her husband in 1891.
Marriage Dec qtr 1889 
Evered    Thomas       
Vaile    Emily       
Cheltenham    6a   899

Is this the family in 1891 with son Christopher W ??   Living in Litherland Lanc

Emily Evered   26 b  Islington
Thomas Evered   22 b Clifton Glos
Christopher W Evered   4 b Stroud Glos
Annie Evered   8/12

Added - Sorry Rosie - missed your amendment

That is the one I was looking at Kay.  I had previously been looking at 1901 and mistakenly put 1891.
