hi
my great grandma married a john boddy in 1902, and on the marraige cert she and her dad peter said their name was conley. so why on the cencus records they said there name was conley. any ideas. all certs have the name lavey, lahey!!! they lived in middlesbrough and sunderland. but in the 1871 cencus they said their name was levey. this is confusing me. is there any way i can find out why they used 2 names?
and secondly mary conley 1878 had a boy called francis boddy (my grandad) 1900 and a girl mary boddy 1900 so they were twins but there is no record of their birth or that they live with her in the 1901 cencus, but appear in the 1911 cencus.
some one please help

yeah that them!! i have all the details, but i just dont understand why she would go by 2 names?
thanks

francis ernest is the wrong francis, he was just francis boddy, he was born in dec

Unless you know that this is definitely a different Francis, don't let the middle name put you off.
Some of mine only used one name through life, although registered with two forenames.
Yet others added a fictious middle name when they married. !

The Francis Ernest registration could very easily be for a child born in December. Then, as now, you had 42 days to register a birth, so a birth in the last month of a quarter, eg. Oct, Nov, DECEMBER, could easily be registered in the quarter after the birth actually happened.

Looks like there is another Francis Boddy with the middle name of Ernest

This looks like them in 1911 - I can see why you think Francis and mary were twins:

no thats definately not him as he married a margaret newton in 1928 then my nan elizabeth hall/mccarthy in 1932. thankyou

yes thats them in 1911. its wierd how they just didnt appear with mary in 1901 cencus as all of there birth years are 1 year ahead of when they actually were born.

Maybe Mary and Francis had mother's name? Possibly born before she married? Just a thought.
Jan

yeah they were born before they married as they married in 1902 but because mary went by 2 names conley and lavey i just can find them at all.

Do you have Mary on the 1891 and 1901 census.... I'm struggling to see them. All I can see is a similar family, living same area under the Name of McElwee.

Maybe this is Mary? Stretching it a bit but can't see a better match:

Births Jun 1903 (>99%)
BODDY Mary Middlesbro' 9d 628

i dont have the 1891 cencus
they would be peter conley/lavey/levey
bridget his wife
mary
and her brothers and sisters
sunderland or middlesbrough

This is the family and I wondered if they'd changed their name again??

When did Francis BODDY die.?
Was it after 1969...if so his birthdate should be on his death certificate., ...if known.
