I am trying to find the birth of Edward Alcock. On the 1911 census he gives his place of birth as Middleton Green Withington Lancs. I have check to find if this place exists, perhaps the wording is written the wrong way round on the census, as what I have found is that there is Withington Green Middleton Manchester.
He gives his age as 27 so this would make his birth year c.1884. I have looked on Free BMD and cannot find a birth that fits - between 1883-1886 only 2 show up which would be out of area. I have looked on Lancashire BMD and again the same. I have looked on Ancestry and again drawn a blank. Perhaps I am missing something somewhere? On the 1911 he is living in Burslem Staffordshire with his wife May and son Reginald. May must have filled this census in as she has signed it and the address is 49 Harvey Street Burslem. I have found their marriage on Free BMD Marriages Sep 1907
