Walter George Bezance was born Q2 1896 in Yarmouth ref 4b 8a. FMP and FreeBMD find him but the GRO doesn't and I want his MMS. Can someone with a FMP sub look it up, or can someone smarter than me locate him on GRO?

Well that has thrown a cat among the pigeons! I was working on the assumption that he was the illegitimate son of Alice Ellen Bezance. I now need his MMS even more as Westgate is now a possibility. Back to the drawing board.People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace

so annoying that it isn't on GRO, tried a few different ideas and not managed to find it.Carolyn

I think FMP are in the process of adding mmn. But if it isn't on the GRO index they won't have it because they are compiling them from there, I believe. That is not to mean that it is an illegitimate but just that it has been missed or very badly mistranscribed on the GRO index.

A friend of mine, let's call him "B" died a few years ago and I am trying to do his tree for his widow. She has supplied me with his birth certificate showing his father as "E" and E's foreign birth and baptism certificates showing his date of birth as 1923, and E's father to be Walter George Bezance born in Great Yarmouth. No date of birth is given but around the 1890s seems likely.
In 1911 there is a suitable boy aged 14, let's call him WG 1896 living with Hermond Spurgeon and his wife Alice Ellen who I take to be the same woman as in 1901.
In 1901 what appears to be the same boy aged 4 is living with his grandfather, also called Walter George (WG 1854) and his wife Sophia and their daughter Alice E Fleet. From this I surmise that either WG 1896 is the illegitimate son of Alice or WG 1854 had a son who is WG 1896's father.
In 1881 and 1891 WG 1854 is living with his brother James and has a son Walter aged 6/16 - (WG 1875). So he is the prime candidate to be the father of WG 1896 except why is WG 1896 living with grandparents in 1901 and aunt Alice in 1911?
Val found the marriage of a WG to Mary Ann Westgate in 1896. The date is right for this to be WG 1875. The year is the same as WG 1896 was born. By 1911 they had 3 children, but have not taken in WG 1896.
So is WG 1896 the son of WG 1875 or is he the illegitimate son of Alice? My money is on the latter. If I could find him on the GRO I would know.People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace

Good call Vera the marriage was 31 May 1896 so probably born before that date. I would have thought if they were intending to marry the father would have acknowledged the birth. Strange.Kat

And what does "Occasional Copy: A" on the GRO mean?
I could order this one if there is any chance of there being any more information on it. Is there any advantage of a paper copy over a pdf?
