I want to apply for a BC of a Thomas Heyes I have his MC and he states his age as 21 and as he married in 1912 this means he was born abt 1891. The marriage took place in St Helens Lancaster. I know I have asked this before but would appreciate some help. His fathers name is John who is a miner and I have found a couple of John's on the census with sons called Thomas but none of them fit his year of birth. So I searched the birth records and there are so many Thomas Heyes not sure what ones to consider as I am not familar with the area. I have asked the member of family I am doing this tree for but she cannot help. This is my last crack at this and if I cannot sort it I think I will give up with it. There are no clues on the MC with regard to witness's

If the marriage took place after 5th April 1912, he might not have been born at the 1891 census. Ought to be on the 1901 though, in theory.

If all else fails, Gwen, then when the 1911 census comes online, hopefully you will be able to find him on there and get more clues that way.KiteRunner

Yes, sorry, they used to say the county of Lancaster for the county of Lancashire, I was just trying to check that it was the town of St Helens and not the actual town of Lancaster!

As I am not very familar with that area I dont mind you asking and the family so far all seem to come from St Helens Lancaster, Rainhill Lancaster, West Derby Liverpool. I expect they could have moved to warrington.
I think like you say I will have to wait for the 1911 census. But I am not a patient person as I scream out loud.GWEN

Looking at google maps
Parr is just west of St. Helens and Warrington is just a few miles south west of St Helens so looking promising.
St Helens Lancashire isn't near Lancaster at all, which is much further north and west of Warrington.
