Hi Elaine
The results are back - as you rightly assumed. Fred was registered in the 3rd quarter, on the 5th July. The birth date came back correct 27/5/1911 and no mention of his father. The mother was Elizabeth Maud Powell, living at 21 Boughey Street, Stoke on Trent, although when I looked on the 1911 census the Powell family and her were living at 17 Boughey Street. So the house number could have been a mistake on the birth certificate, perhaps.
My family are very grateful and I'm so glad that you have been able to unravel the family mystery of my grandad. Especially as all his siblings are a live and are busy trying to think if they knew or know any Powells in the area that are possibly blood related.
Thanks once again
