Re: Trevor Green Birth Record

If you can get someone to check his date of birth on the 1939 register it may help.

Re: Trevor Green Birth Record

Looking at the 1939 Register his birthdate was 25 Jan 1938.

However Dorcas according to the census was not called Green. In 1939 she was a servant called Dorcas M Simpson born 21 Jan 1910 and was still single.

There are two females with the surname Green who are Single 1 Dorothy born 1920 and 1 Agnes born 1917. so could one of these be the mother of Trevor and not Dorcas.

Perhaps Dorcas did marry Charles in 1940 and adopted Trevor hence gave him the surname or could Trevor say for example Dorothy died in childbirth of is Trevor's name registered under Simpson?

Re: Trevor Green Birth Record

who did he marry and when?

Re: Trevor Green Birth Record

Elaine, I am working on the assumption that because Trevor is not redacted on 1939 Register he should be no longer living.

The 1939 register shows Trevor Green (b 25.1.1938) in Penistone with his mother Dorcas Mary Green. It also shows that later (presumably 1940 when she married Charles Elsey) Dorcas officially changed her name ( for ID and Ration Book reasons) to ELSEY (in pencil).Trevor's name Green is also crossed out and changed to Elsey (in red so presumably not at the same time as his mother). So Trevor became Elsey later.
Note that because they were living in Penistone in 1939 we should not assume Trevor was born in Penistone. He may have been born elsewhere then returned to the family home in Penistone.

I wonder if this illegitimate double birth entry (q1 1938) is him:

Green George T H Green Rotherham 9c 1090
Green George T H Green Rotherham 9c see J40
(meaning his SECOND name was Trevor)

Then this marriage in Q2 1959 would fit the surname change.
ELSEY George T H SMITH Huddersfield 2b [9_]31

Seems like a perfect fit.

Re: Trevor Green Birth Record

The "See J40 in the second birth entry for GEORGE H T Green fevers to a late entry made in JUNE Quarter 1940.
NOTE THAT DORCAS married Elsey in March Q 1940 so there is no doubt that George HTGreen was Trevor Green and he became George HT Elsey in June Q 1940
That late entry birth is on Free bmd . GEORGE H T Elsey mmn Green registered Rother Valley June Q 1940.
