    • The search for father of Charles Henry Douglas 1853 (app):

      Charles Henry DOUGLAS
      1881 census - aged 27 born in Doncaster
      Marriage certificate to Annie Maria PEACE in 1874 aged 21 living in Rotherham.

      I have searched the national birth indexes +/- 5yrs with no luck

      Doncaster RO have searched 5yrs and surrounding districts 1852 - 1854, again with no result. (email dtd 18/8/2008)

      However,

      I wonder if this is him on the 1861 census for Brightside Bierlow ?

      Charles BUTCHER 29 shingler b Gresbro?
      Harriet BUTCHER 36 b Doncaster
      Eliza BUTCHER 5 b Derbyshire
      William BUTCHER 5 Mo b Gresbro
      Charles DOUGLAS 7 stepson b York
      (RG9; Piece: 3499; Folio: 53; Page: 41)

      Search for earlier census
      1851 census for Doncaster:
      Harriet DOUGLAS widow 29 b Doncaster shop keeper
      plus some lodgers and a visitor
      (HO107; Piece: 2347; Folio: 116; Page: 22)

      Search for Marriage
      Marriages December 1854
      BUTCHER Charles Sheffield 9c 355
      DOUGLAS Harriet Sheffield 9c 355

      Marriage Certificate ordered and confirms Harriet was a widow and her father was Charles SAYLES.

      Search for earlier marriage
      Marriage Sep 1842
      DOUGLAS John Doncaster 22 41
      SAYLES Harriet Doncaster 22 41

      Search for death
      Death Dec 1846
      DOUGLAS John Doncaster 22 69

      Conclusion
      If Harriet was a widow in 1851 - Charles wasn't born until 1853/54 so could not be her husbands child, therefore chances are he was illegitimate and hence the possibility his birth went unrecorded.
