    Jean,
    If he was a foundling,would William Richard and Elizabeth (Dore) been able to register his birth in Manchester after they had taken him in? Not sure how registration worked back then.

    Wonder why the change to O'Connor too? Certainly a puzzle!

    Pam.

    Maybe a search of the newspaper archives is also needed!

    When I mentioned tablet I meant the electronic devise not the medication!!!! However with this thread and another I feel I have lost the plot....all good fun jx

    That's the bit I do not understand and why were the couple in Manchester/Salford...the address of the birth should give us some clues. I am sure I saw Richard as a Leather Dresser which would fit with the glove industry in and around the Manchester city

    All we need to do now is wait for snail mail and the birth cert
