On the certificate is there an address indicating exactly where he was born?

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the 'board', so I'm not too sure how much to say, I started my family tree about a month ago and its kind of taken over at the moment.
The above name is my great great grandfather, that was his birth name. Robert's DOB is 06/05/1851 and he was born in Dewsbury, Leeds. I can't find him in the 1861 census, but in the 1871 census, he is calling himself 'Robert Henry W Gaunt and is married to Hannah Gaunt nee Barraclough. He is working as a Iron furnance man and living in Lower Wortley.
1881 = Robert H Gaunt
1891 = Robert H Gaunt
1901 = Robert Henry W Gaunt
1911 = Robert Henry Wilks Gaunt
He always lived in the lower Wortley area and had various jobs...Engine firer, Labourer, Brickyard Labourer, Brick setter. He had 10 children
Samuel, Martha, Richard/Robinson, Ruth, Mary, Kate, Benjamin, Edith and Emily. He died in 1927, aged 75.
I received his birth certificate today and there is no fathers name on it, just his mothers ELIZABETH GAUNT WILKS and no other information about her, I ca't find Robert or Elizabeth in the 1861 census and I've searched all the different variations of both their names???
Can anyone help? or have I come to the end of the line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Debi Gaunt-Walsh :D
