Thread: John Saltmore

I am trying to find John Saltmore birth, from his marriage certificate and census returns he was b1861 in Manchester, I have been unable to find a birth entry for Saltmore I can find one for Saltmer but I'm not sure about the connection between the two spellings.

[quote=welshlady;210664 i see he was in a industrial school in 1871 which doesnt help with parents names.[/quote]



Also, in the same industrial school there was Mary Ann Saltmore born circa 1856, his sister maybe?



And a possible birth for Mary Ann.



Mary Ann Saltmer, 1855, Jul-Aug-Sep Manchester vol 8d page 170

Sounds as though the registrar just wrote down what he thought he'd heard, or that the informant of the births didn't spell the name the same way.



Names mutate through all kinds of spellings. More and Mer are very similar sounding.

Thank you for your help I will send for a copy of the birth certificate and ask for a name check.
