As there was no penalty until 1875 for NOT registering births, the person you are researching may simply not have been registered

Hi everyone

I have a bit of a mystery really - although it may be just me that thinks this.

My relative Henry Bales married Rebecca Stevenson on 23 January 1863 in Lambeth but the only birth I can find which would fit her in 1842 around the Lambeth area is for a Rebecca Swan Stevenson - however the marriage certificate I have for Rebecca and Henry appears to show her name as Maria - any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks
