Prompted by Christine in Herts useful local bmd update thread, I had another look for my mysterious Joseph Holden's birth...and found one I am sure I have never seen before, in 1854, Hulme, Manchester.
It's for Joseph HENRY Holden. Joseph never used (or had?) a middle name but his first son was called Henry.....
I should add, I have seven certs already for this man. I may already have the correct cert but there is no way of knowing!
He was the product of my 2 x ggf's first marriage to unknown unknown. This first marriage is the key to unlocking a few mysteries about 2 x ggf..what's his father's name on THIS one, for instance.
The only thing holding me back is that there is a baptism in 1853 for a Joseph Henry Holden...but wrong father....
....sigh....where's me chequebook....
