Hi Glynis,



I saw your introduction and noted that you mention Sarah Anne Hardman – I now see that she was your Maternal Grandmother.



The following is the record reference for her marriage



Marriage Q2 1912 Bury

Frank Carter Vol. 8c Page, 992



Your Mum’s Birth record

From the sibling names you mentioned I have found the following

Name: Dennis Carter

The following could be the 1st born son considering your Grandad’s name:-



Name: Frank Carter

Mother's Maiden Surname: Hardman

Date of Registration: Apr May Jun 1916

Registration district: Bury

Registration county: Lancashire

Volume Number: 8c Page Number: 928



There are also the following that are born with mother’s maiden name Hardman in Bury, Lancashire around that time. However, as there was another Hardman (Eliza) who marries a Carter (Stanley) in 1921 in Bury, there are quite a few carter births that show up in Bury around that time, with Hardman as the mother’s maiden name.



Elsie 1921, Geoffrey 1924, Gladys 1925, Ronald 1925, George 1927, John 1932, Donald 1934, Irene 1935, Norman 1937.

This your father's death reg which states he was born on



27 Jun 1931.

This shows the entry for Derek on the marriage reg. you really need to get the marriage cert to get the correct surname of your father. On the Marriage reg it states Derek C Speakman and on both your parents death reg it states the surname as Chester Speakman. I can find no Birth reg for your Father around the dob shown on the death reg.
