The Whiter family with children Albert, Beatrice, Freddy, etc is a different one from the family with Madeline and Henry on your other thread.

(Madeline & Henry's births on the other thread.)

Both sets of parents are called Henry and Eliza/Elizabeth, but one mother is Eliza Lamb, and the other is Elizabeth Chalkley/Chorkley.

Madeline & Henry's father is a cabinet maker in 1891.

The father of Beatrice et al is a printer in 1901. Not the same man.

Sidam,

You have the wrong children in George and Henry.

Thankyou all so much...Shirley where did you find the info for mother’s maiden name Lamb? This was very confusing two families same names but thankyou so much fir your time.

GRO website gives mms for births in England/Wales 1837 - 1918.

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

You have to register, but it's free to use.

It's easiest to find the likely birth on FreeBMD first, then check for mms on GRO.
GRO website requires the child's surname to be entered, whereas FreeBMD lets you search more easily for possible alternative spellings, etc., or search without any surname.
