Not quite sure what you mean. I know that the pages of the GRO Index are headed Jan-Feb-Mar but for the seventeen years I've been doing family history (and, yes, I know I'm still a newbie compared to some people ) it's always been referred to as March quarter.
Added: Just realised what you meant. No, I hadn't checked the GRO's online historical birth and deaths index.

We're getting in a bit of a muddle here, Peter and going crossed-eyed in the process.
My original comment about the quarter referred to Helachau saying Wilkin's marriage took place in January quarter, when he should have said March quarter.
Archibald's birth was indeed registered in June quarter, and Helachau's reference to me looking at the GRO Index was referring to how he knew Archibald's second name was Wilkin when the GRO Index only gave an initial. I'd forgotten about the 'new' online GRO Index for historical births and deaths.
Think I'll go for some food before I get a headache.

Yes, got that (I think!)
I presumed (never a good idea) that helachau had interpreted the 'J' as January.
It can be confusing though, as different sites use different terminology to denote a quarter. I try to use Q1, Q2, etc which I think is less open to misinterpretation.

The posting of "June" for the 1912 marriage rather than "March" was yet another "senior moment". Had recorded Quarter 1 (FMP) in my notes but translated on screen as June (careless).
The June Qtr birth is cribbed exactly from the GRO - given names in full. Nothing to do with deducing it from given names at death"dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

Thanks to all for the information. I have been told I made a mistake on Wilkin Medforth's B day. It was not 1917. We were looking for information on this family that I see can't be shared because of the rule about current living ancestors.
I appreciate your time in the responses we have received.

That's why we've tried to give you pointers of where to look. It's basically the same as going back in time i.e. you have a name, then search for a marriage. However coming forward to the present day looking for children of a marriage is easier because you have the mother's maiden name included in the birth registration.
You could even do things in reverse. Start in 2007 (last year of online GRO Index for BMDs) with Medforth children birth registrations and work backwards. The only drawback with that system is that you miss out on the descendants of any female Medforths who married.
