NG,

Elsewhere I saw info concerning a Joseph Frazer given in the 1881 Lancashire census as being born in Cheltenham (no county given) in about 1875.

Freebmd gives a Joseph Frazer's birth as being registered in Salford Lancs in the Sept. qtr of 1874. There is no registration of a birth of a Joseph Frazer in Cheltenham between 1870 and 1880 according to freebmd.

Less than three miles from Salford is Cheetham.

What is your opinion please of the possibility that the actual birth took place in Cheetham LAN and not Cheltenham GLS?

Were enumeration sheets written up after the census returns or were they taken around by the enumerator?

try for a baptism

about 25% unregistered births until fines wwer imposed circa 1875 ish
