| I just heard that on BBC North West whilst doing family tree stuff on the laptop and a quick search suggests he was born in South Manchester, not Warrington.
Half expecting him to jump out of the wardrobe with his birth certificate in hand.

| Haha! I saw it on Guardian obit, it said he was born in Warrington, 'because his mum happened to be there at that time' ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| I was always told he was born in Salford as his dad was a seaman and was docked at Manchester (Salford) docks. He was registered in South Manchester register office, but that covered a very large area at that time , including Eccles parish, which includes Hope hospital.

| He was born in Warrington.
He was born on Sankey Green, near Bank Park, so being born so close to the Town Hall, I guess, that would make him even more Warringtonian than many of us!
Wrongly reported he was from Manchester.
Just poor copy and paste from the BBC and ITV.
He was a world famous actor so he was often asked where he came from, as no one knew where Warrington was he would say Manchester. I heard him tell that story on a radio interview years ago.

Not that I know either way, but, shirley, Bert would come from where his mother was berthed, not where his dad was docked?

Things are not what they seem in Salford...it's a bit like Widnes.
