3). No birth of a John P. HICKMAN, born 21 February 1933, appears on Certificate Ordering Services. The nearest is John Philip HICKMAN, born September Q 1934 [HARRISON] Northwich 08A 347. This suggests that the births of one or more of the children living with Harold Amos HICKMAN and Alma Elsie in 1939 were registered under another name
