I think there's a mistake in the 1891 census. Frank is listed as 11 in 1901 and 22 in 1911, making this birth more likely:

Births Sep 1889
Gladwin Frank Ledbury 6a 445

Thanks all, great input to the thread. I was going for minnies birth as there are a couple of Frank's born around the right time. Wanted to be 100 % sure before sending for cert as this is research for friend of my moms. don't want her spending more money than she has to as she is a pensioner.

THere is only 1 Frank born in Ledbury though. I suggest you put checking point of at least his father's name - that way it will save you £4 if it is the wrong one.

I agree that there is something not right about the ages on the census. Also I think when twins were born they put the time of birth on the certificate so it might be something to look out for.

I've got a Minnie who was really an Annie - just to give another line of thought.
