Morning Dot - forgot to mention yesterday that you seem to have had a very interesting time in Yorkshire!
I have checked the births for Trafford and have found a few in Middlesbrough, one in Gateshead and three in Newcastle. They are: Elsie, mothers maiden name, Lively born in Middlesbrough registered in the quarter ending Mar 1917;
Charles C, Collingwood, Gateshead, Jun 1919; Mary, Pearce, Middlesbrough, Dec 1919; Connie, Hodgson, Middlesbrough, Sep 1920; Edward, Hodgson, Middlesbrough, Sep 1920 (looks like twins!); Doris, Hill, Newcastle, Mar 1921; Harry, Pearce, Middlesbrough, Dec 1921; Elsie, Hill, Newcastle, Jun 1922; Joan, Hill, Newcastle, Dec 1924; Olive, Kilvington, Middlesbrough, Sep 1926. You do need to bear in mind that any children may have been registered under the mothers name if they were not married, or that he may have used a false name. There is always the chance that it was a bigamus marriage, and that the second wife may not have found out until 1926 when she sent him packing! Hope you have luck finding them!
