So she must have given birth to a second son between my grandfathers birth Oct 1906 and Oct 1918, when he went back with her. So I'm clutching at straws as she never registered my grandfathers birth, but have found these two male births (between 1906 and 1918):


Sept 1914: Nolan Frederick K Manchester 8d 481
June 1914 Nolan Stanley Salford 8d 282

I can't see any more... but will start with these.

Stanley seems to have died as a baby:


Deaths Mar 1915
Nolan Stanley 0 Salford 8d 201


I couldn't see a good match for Frederick in 1939 or death/marriage indexes.
