It is possible he was not registered but all the other children I have found were all registered but there is a gap of a few yrs between Charles and my great grandfather who was b1878 they were all born in Sussex

I wonder?????? Perhaps Charles was not his first name..........this birth would fit the year and place Name: William Charles Bettesworth Year of Registration: 1872 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Steyning County: Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 277 Reg

Do you have this? Name: Alice Bettesworth Estimated birth year: abt 1861 Year of Registration: 1900 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Age at Death: 39 District: Steyning County: Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 176 And this? Name: Thomas Bettesworth Estimated birth year: abt 1862 Year of Registration: 1900 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at Death: 38 District: West Ham County: Essex, Greater London Volume: 4a Page: 147 Reg

As Charles was born c1871/2, it is possible that his birth wasn't registered. It didn't become compulsory until 1875....... Reg

Maureen, I did check last night to see if I could see the name of the school .................... but all it shows was the street address that Reggie gave you (78/79 Buckingham Rd), and the fact that the Head of the 'family' was Thomas Read, Schoolmaster No further information available

do we know name of boarding house as I think in 1901 he was an orphan as both parents died 1899-1900

update

Maureen seems to have lost interest............

Can't find Tom's parents on the 1901 ....... had they died by then???

Maybe they did have a little money! 1891 CensusName Age Alice Betterworth 29 Charles Betterworth 19 Brother, Licensed Victualler Manager Inn Thomas Betterworth 29 Licensed Victualler (Pub) Tom Betterworth 2 Fanny Day 14 Domestic Servant Martha Day 18 Domestic Servant Mary Doescher 21 Barmaid Annie Roberts 22 Barmaid Address:- Blatterley Arms, Forest Road

thanks seems that one in the family must have had money if it was a boarding school will have to find his birth to get birth certificate to find out who his parent are
