John was registered as the man's son......so that will have to be taken at face value.

Who registered John's birth?

Astra.
Thank you for all the info on the 1911 Census regarding George Lancster.
John

Reggie.
thank you for the information on George's death, i have just started to try and locate him,as for reading ALL the advise above, well i will all in good time,at the moment it all seems very confusing. i will be sending for George's Birth Cert. it seems to me you coukd be right about his death, but sadly that doesnt tell me that he was my husbands father..........
wife of John

Please read ALL the info and the advice above

we know that George Lancaster was born in 1910, and lived at 119 Warrington Road in Leigh (at time of marrage to Cecelia) and he was a cloth looker in a cotton mill.......and his father was George Lancaster Also. witnesses at their wedding was Lewis Joes and Annie Oddie. Maybie just maybie he wasnt his father afterall ????? but what happened to George Lancaster.
Wife of John.

This would fit in with info found so far............

Death
Name: LANCASTER, George
Registration district: Wigan
County: Lancashire
Year of registration: 1991
Month of registration: August
Date of Birth:1 June 1910

When you get the birth cert, you'll be able to cross-refer

Wife of John..........

Please note.........I didn't say when John was born..........only when his birth was registered

Birth registered 1st qtr 1946, which would be the case if he was born in late 45, and the parents didn't register until January

If you purchase George's birth cert, you will learn his exact DOB.................that info can be used as search tool to try to find his death.

If George re-married, it could not have been legally, unless John's mother divorced him.

It would be good if you commented on all the info people have found for you

John Lancaster was born in 1945, not 1946. his mother was Cecelia Nee Leigh.
i don't know what happened to his Father........it is a mistery, one wihich we would like to solve.i could not find out anything in the War Records, you may be right , his father might have abandond his mother and him. Did he get remarried? when did he die and where?lots of questions?????? we know he married Cecelia in 1935. we have the marrage cert.
Wife of John.

The MMN on his birth is LEIGH

So if he is George's son born in 1946 was his mother Cecilia? Or had the marriage broken down then.

A little confused.

I have advised John how to post on the thread so I can't understand why he is still sending PM's.

It's Ok Reggie about re-posting the 1911. We weren't sure if it was correct until we heard from the OP.

again on the assumption that 1911 is correct family

father George died in 4th April 1943of 86 Dakins Lea Leigh

In a PM to me John says George was his father

John's birth was registered in 1946, which was after the end of WW2

if that 1911 census is correct the other children show mmn as Boardman as well so this is probably George's parents marriage

Marriage: 26 Dec 1896 St John the Evangelist, Pendlebury, Lancashire, England
George Lancaster - 25, Collier, Bachelor, 54 Stapleton St.
Annie Boardman - 23, Spinster, 6 King St.
Groom's Father: James Lancaster, Bricklayer
Bride's Father: Robert Boardman, Pattern Maker
Witness: William Lowe, (X); Mary Lowe

No record of a death for him on the CWGC site.

Could this story have been fabricated to cover-up possible abandonment of wife and child?

Here he is in 1911

Sorry, Astra, just realised you'd posted the census some time ago........

I wonder why the OP didn't comment on it?
