Never come across anything like this in all the years I've been doing genealogy

For those of you that have been trying to help Suna with his research, seriously, everything that has been explained in here is virtually correct, Grace Anne Flynn did indeed have a very unusual and complicated life. There are 2 birth registrations, 23 Sept 1930 Jean Elizabeth, mothe Grace Wilson, a hawker of Pickering. No father given, the informant was A.G. Chambers- Occupier of 5 Whitby Rd Pickering, the house Jean was born in. The birth was registered 49 days after the recorded birth, which means someone had to pay a fine. I have never seen a birth registered by an 'occupier' before. So then I see this on the next birth, from the year before: 17 Feb 1929, Anthony John, father William Marshall, mother Grace Marshall formerly Wilson. But the informant was once again the occupier of the house the child was born in, not one of the parents, so having never come across that before it appears twice in the same family,

The man is too busy and not willing to go down and check the records.
I phoned there once before and a lady did check.

The man is not willing to check the record but some offices do check for you.

if anyone can look at the 1911 for Pickering Workhouse, there is a Betsey Wilson admitted March 1911 and discharged end May 1911 born 1877, does she have children with her or a husband? Her occupation was a servant, she was in and out of that place for 10 years and seemed to be a local woman,

A. G. Chambers was my paternal grandmother, Annie Gertrude Chambers, who, with her husband John Chambers, were Matron and Master of Pickering workhouse at 5 Whitby Road. However, my grandfather died on 9 April 1922 as a result of injuries sustained in the war. Thereafter, the Pickering Union established a children's home at 18 Hall Garth (or Hallgarth), Pickering. In 1924, the home could accommodate 12 children with Mrs A.G. Chambers as Superintendent.
