birth look up please!!!

That's a very likely candidate, but there were 77 William Fletcher birth registrations in 1890, and sometimes people added middle names later, so they don't show in the indexes. So it's possible that the one registered as William Albert isn't your William Albert.

Do you have any other evidence as to where he was born? (family stories, other relatives in the area can all be pointers)

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring

WA born Liverpool 1890 probably is your man - it would just be nice to see if we can find him in the census somewhere to link him to John so you don't waste money on certs that aren't your family.

I've had another thought about ways to search - back in a bit

okay dokey

I still can only find one likely candidate in 1901, and he is the one at Blue Coat Hospital. Liverpool record office has lots of stuff relating to the school, including the Application Books and the Admission Registers, (see here)
so you may end up needing to check their records to see if there is mention of his father.

I think I would go ahead and order the certificate, but use the check facility to check he is the son of John.

Then you would have his mothers name as well, which might help find him in the censuses.

Hope this all helps
