Mary
Do you know if Nathan's wife was called Lydia?
Brian
Her name was Alice Prescott and they were married at St Stephens, Banks, on 4 Sept 1907. Obviously buying the certificate ought to clear up the parentage question, but I'm trying to keep costs down - especially when there is a distinct possibility of ordering the wrong one!
If the two deaths Sept 1880 are the ones born Sept 1879 and June 1880, then that only leaves Nathaniel born 1877 Ormskirk district or Nathan born Salford area.
Free BMD states it is fully transcribed 1870-1889, births and deaths
Coincidentally Mary has contacted me via my Tribalpages tree and I've just sent her the same by e-mail. Could he have been registered as Nathaniel then reverted to Nathan? The 1881 census suggests parents may have been Edward & Margaret Rimmer, with Margaret possibly being a Barton (1868 marriages Spt Qtr)

Many thanks to Yvonne and to Brian for their detective work on my behalf. You've given us a lot to think about. I'l let you know when we have a definitive answer to this puzzle - unless of course you or someone else enlightens us first!
