Hi again Kaz,

Just a thought, if you can locate Joseph's death and your friend did not register the death perhaps one of his siblings did and then you will get a name.

What are your thoughts?

Kind Regards

To narrow it down a bit here are births in Aston where the maiden name of the mother is Bailey (it's only possible to search up to 1920 unfortunately - it's from the familyrelatives site). Some of these are probably to unmarried mothers but perhaps one of them is your friend's brother - maybe Leonard? You probably know that you can send off for certificates where you put in conditions so you don't waste money sending off for ones with the wrong parents.

BAILEY Alice F Bailey Aston.6d 739 3 1917
BAILEY Alice F Bailey Aston.6d 739 3 1917
BAILEY Annie V Bailey Aston.6d 659 4 1918
BAILEY Leonard Bailey Aston.6d 822 4 1918
BAILEY May Bailey Aston.6d 822 4 1918
BAILEY Olive G Bailey Aston.6d 539 4 1917

Hope this helps a bit

This looks quite likely as it is registered in Birmingham the same as your friend not North or South just plain Birmingham same as his. I have just spoken to my dad and he says Aston is central Birmingham so I like this one!! It is handwritten at the bottom

1927 3rd quarter

Bailey Norman S or J M Bailey 6d ?734

Best Wishes

I've now done 1927-1932, whilst there are loads in Birmingham N and S. Your friend was registered in Birmingham so I think we need to concentrate on this post 1924 and Aston and or Birmingham prior to this.
The only one registered in Birmingham is Norman as pasted above

Best Wishes

Many thanks, Steph, Nicola Helen and Jane

Thats great info I will try to finish my checking too and hopefully some possibilities have emerged- I had forgotten that you can send off for certs with checks!

Sorry took so long to reply - unexpected visitors and I so wanted to get back and search
