Thanks once again
As still no record of Ralph's birth, which is the main problem. i will close this thread now, and sort all the info I have

In case any one of the helpers is still watching
Further update, To-day spoke with friend, and she says, that Ralph's daughter (sadly now passed on)was also unable to find birth certificate
The family story was , that he was "left on the doorstep" or may have been the son of the grandather.The ones who new the facts would never say!
Need Miss Marple on it!!

I wonder then, if William was his father if he was registered under his mother's name but without a christian name?

This is the only birth that fits with the DOB in Salford to an unmarried mother with no given name?

Births Jun 1914
Hardisty Male Hardisty Salford 8d 106

or one of these?

Name: Male Armstrong
Mother's Maiden Name: Armstrong
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1914
Registration District: Barrow-in-Furness
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 1425

Name: (Male) Dawe
Mother's Maiden Name: Dawe
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1914
Registration District: Burnley
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 267


Name: (Male) Hodgson
Mother's Maiden Name: Hodgson
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1914
Registration District: Preston
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 955


Perhaps you need to just wait until the 1921 census is released and hope that that will shed some light?

Interesting. Thanks for that.
I think in 8 years time I personally will be to old (if I am still around)
I am doing the tree, and will pass this thought on. Maybe she can get her grandchildren to follow it up, then
Thanks again for the help.
I guess in years to come, every one will know every thing about every one!! BIG Brother!
It's getting that way already, with supermarkets being able to see what one buys, and send cupons for discounts.
