There is a marriage for a John Winter in Birmingham 1876, but no wife. Oldest child I can find was born about 1876/7. Can't find anything for John that is obvious before 1881. I think you need at least the marriage cert.
Hi Harrys mum
Charles Joseph Winter born 1911 foleshill father was Charles Walter Winter
Charles Walter Winter married in 1910 born 1889 but no fathers name
Okay thanks , will see if I can find anything for john & Charlotte on 1881 census
OK.....then I'd go with the one born Marylebone...............unless you want to buy both birth certs and see. But I can't see there being two in the same year. If you don't have anything further back go with the Marylebone one and ditch the Aston one.
Just as families go is it possible that the man your looking for was unsure how old he was? I am asking as there is a Charles Walter Winter born last 1/4 of 1884 in Ashby de la Zouch.
Now in the 1901 census he is with his parents Josiah/Joseph Winter and mum Ann and shown as being born in Appleby, Leicestershire
I can post details if you want them. But I'll leave it with you to ponder it.
Wendy...is that closer to Astin? I don't know the area at all.
You could be right with the age. I can't work out where Jebbo got both the date and place. There is definitely a Charles Winter born 1889 Birmingham living in Astin, but I cannot find his middle name anywhere. The index has him born Astin district. Trawling turned up the Marylebone one, with the middle name Walter.
And yours has a Joseph, so could be better.
So if there's no father mentioned on marriage cert, that probably means he'd died.
The one Diane and I found is living in Aston ,but certainly not enough proof to claim him.
Do you have any other certs to see if there are family names?
Clutching at straws here.
I thought that no father's name on marriage cert usually meant that father's name was unknown - i.e. illegitimacy.
I know that's not an absolute, but I have more than one cert (incl. my parents') where the father's name is given, along with "dec'd". Sometimes the father is dead, but the "dec'd" bit gets missed out, even where the name is given - presumably no-one had actually asked if the father(s) were still alive.
There's an active thread here where what must be almost a unique cert is shown where both mothers' names are given, because both were illegitimate.

The marriage registers for Foleshill are at Warwick RO. I know because I was there recently and got a digital photo of my parents' register entry - all filled out by my late father because he was the curate there at the time. :D
