Who was Richard Anthony Addis prior to 1941

He died in Scotland so his death cert is the logical way forward to see what info it gives re parentage.  It will at least show his mothers christian name as it's showing her maiden name

Thank you all for your assistance with this search. I have ordered a pdf of the Cheltenham birth. I think the Newspaper links in 1941 & 1943 would suggest that the Cheltenham birth is the correct one. I will post more when I receive the pdf.

Unfortunately my computer went down last night having just downloaded the digital image of the Richard Addis born 1917 Cheltenham.

Born 9th January 1917, 1 St Albans Villas, Hewlett Road. Mother Mary Addis, Nurse(Domestic) Her abode Oaklands, Ross.

This would tie in with the birth of a Mary Lea Addis born 1895 Ross. Her father William Henry Addis & Maria Addis nee' Lea.

1911 census finds Mary Lea Addis in a school in Llandaff, her father in 1911 in Bridstow(as below)

Hi Softly Softly. Thanks for that. I assume no father mentioned. Was it a mother & baby home? I can only assume that the child was brought up by another family.

Found this in newspaper dated 21st June 1917. Had to look up "accouchment" , birth, delivery.

added--no father recorded

Thanks again. On his death record, his MMN was listed as McKenzie which must have been the mother that raised him. Legal adoption did not come in until 1926 in England.

I note there has been no comment to my suggestion that obtaining an actual copy of his death cert may provide relevant info.  At least a christian name for his mother should be there
