When I saw a post on this thread from you...…… lol I thought maybe you had discovered something!
I think PHH most be the biggest brick wall ever! Of course, more people every day are having DNA tests, so don't give up hope. Very interesting about Rotherham workhouse though.....

Maybe on the 1921 census he came up with a different place of birth. I reckon he made his whole life up as he went along. We need some TV genealogy “experts” to see if they can solve the problem. I bet they wouldn’t be able to.

Not with the information we have already.
I too wonder about the 1921 census!

That sentence "I wasn't wanted" reminds me of a friend whose widowed mother remarried and his new stepfather hated him. I know that doesn't help find him but it is a thought to bear in mind when the 1921 census comes out.

He’d left home by 1903 OC to join the army and apparently never went back home wherever home was. He was discharged from the army in Pontefract and was making his way to London when he arrived in Ashby de la Zouch and met his future wife. They married in 1908 in Ashby and stayed in the area. He was recalled to the army in 1914 and became a prisoner of war in 1915. We’ve always said that had he not become a POW he may have been killed and my father in law who was born in 1920 wouldn’t have existed.

Do your daughters have NO DNA matches that you cannot attribute to other branches of the family? If Peter was an only child and his parents had no siblings with descendants, then it will take the links further back, but they must be there.
I thought Granny was a changeling - all her roots are East Anglia, but Ancestry firmly says I have no East Anglian DNA. This is tosh, but all the connections are abt 11cM or less.

All matches on my husbands / father in laws side are from Peter’s wife’s side. I will have another look though when I get a day or so with nothing else to do.

Marg, Do you have a list of birth registrations (or anything) of people you have definitely eliminated? Sometimes I try again with PHH, but often find myself looking at the same people as we have looked at before! Usually I realise by searching some element of their details on this site and find a previous thread, but not always.

I did wonder about the time he enlisted in the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in 1903 and to research the people with regimental numbers very close to his 8003. Thinking they might be mates and to find them on the 1901 census but I didn’t have any luck there either.
#48 on this thread lists the people either side of his number.
