Richard Nightingale Banks was my Grandfather. He and Nellie Yeoward, neé Crabtree produced my father Nigel Banks who was born on June 6, 1913 at Mount Pleasant, Liverpool Road, Sankey, Warrington. According to the Registry of Births, the informant was my grandfather Richard Nightingale Banks who provided the information on 24th June 1913. I too have never found a marriage record for Nellie and Richard, so I assume my father Nigel was a bastard child. For a while afterwards he lived as a boy with Nellie in the Isle of Man until the age of 21 years.
