6 weeks are allowed in which to register a birth. Technically a 9th August birth should have been registered by 20th October. So the registration might have taken place in either the September or December Qtr. I'm wondering if he was registered in both Registration districts, but in different Quarters

Lancs bmd would appear to only have the Preston Registration

The record for this person is officially closed.

I expect the closed record is John - either still alive or his death hasn't been picked up

I would be grateful if someone could look at the 1939 register for the above born 1935.
Also included should be Henry Bamford born about 1908 (father) Alice born about 1913 (mother) Elizabeth born 1937 (sister) and possibly John born 1939 (brother).
They possibly lived in Walton Le Dale, Preston, Lancashire.
Many thanks.
Pat.
