That's not the correct birth then

If this is his death then he wasn't born until 1923


Name: CURRAN, John William
Registration District: Newcastle upon Tyne
County: Northumberland
Year of Registration: 2000
Month of Registration: May
Date of Birth: 21 February 1923
District No: 0531A
Reg No: A70C
Ent No: 027
DOR: 500


So this will be the correct birth

Registration District: Newcastle upon Tyne
County: Northumberland
Year of Registration: 1923
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's Maiden Name: Francis
Volume No: 10B

Maybe someone with Ancestry will be able to find his service record if it still exists and it may clarify his place of birth

It may be best if you get the marriage certificate to confirm John's father's name. I can't match him for definite either by birthplace or occupation from the details given on the 1911. There is one strong possibility but you need to be certain.


Name: CURRAN, John William
Registration District: Gateshead
County: Durham
Year of Registration: 1907
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912
Volume No: Help 10A
Page No: Help 1551



FRANCIS, Dorothy

I also meant to add that on the 1911 they state that they have had 2 children one of which has died.
