I have a Robert Richardson born 1897 Manchester but nothing after 1911 He could have married but nothing in church marriages and Registrar marriages don't give the fathers name.
Nothing else to go off most of his siblings are married his parents have died.

grateful for a quick look at 1939 census and if any one knows of a cheap 12 months for FMP??

Can you post the 1911 census so he can be identified as the name is very common

Only seeing one who has parents on both the 1901'and 1911 census

He could have been baptised soon after birth or some time later

This looks the only possibility but you really need his actual birth date
