Following on from an earlier thread, Victoria suggested that I get a copy of my GF birth certificate to confirm his mothers full name.
My GF Fred William Harrod was born on 27/5/1895 in Dover to Fred William Harrod (born c1865) and Rose Harrod (nee Bowers born c1874). Trouble is I can't find any trace of them prior to 1895.
I know that although Fred snr is from Lincolnshire, he is not the one born 1864 that married Mary Goulding. Also there isn't two marriages unless he was a bigamist because the childrens birth years overlap.
This is driving me nuts so any help would be appreciated.
