Thread: Where is Daniel Hogan???

I am desperatly trying to obtain a birth certificate for Daniel but have tried every which way and am coming up with a blank each time , i hit a brick wall with a mighty bang !!!

If anyone can please help it would be very much appreciated .

On 1911 census its states Daniel Hogan as age 5 , son of Daniel and Sarah Ann Hogan (nee Kay)

But what is confusing is that "Where born" it states . .... Scottish Hamilton Resident??

I have tried Scotlandspeople and the only Daniel Hogan is coming up with different parents, also tried English BMD and no luck again.

Daniel Snr was born at Castle Eden and Sarah in Wigan , as he was a miner i assume they may have been there because of his work , because by 1911 they are back in Wigan again .

I'm at a loss as to what to do now

Thank you .

His parents were married in Bellshill Lanark in 1896, i have looked under every combination of name i can think of! .... just surname , changing the christian & surname name slightly .

Hi thank you all for you help and suggestions , i do appreciate it . This one is so frustrating !!! its driving me mad. If i didn't have his marriage cert and his name on census i'd swear he didn't really exsist

He had a half brother John ( he was born in 1889 to Sarah before she married Daniel Hogan Snr in 1896 )

Its made all the harder because i have absolutly no family members to ask.

I have looked under both Scottish and English birth records in so many different connotations, this brick wall is getting higher and higher !!!!

He is certainly proving to be a challenge .
