Using the GRO site - full first names are given -

FERROL, WILLIAM CHARLES STIRLING GUNTON
GRO Reference: 1923 J Quarter in HEXHAM Volume 10B Page 720

It has been known for mmn to be given at registration as that of the grandmother. Depends how the question was asked and of whom

ie. What is Mother's maiden name and the Mother gives her Mothers maiden name or the Father registers the birth and gives Mum-in-laws maiden name.

There are a few people with Ferrol surname in Hexham in 1921, amongst them a Henry Gunton Ferrol

Thankyou greyghost

Mistake in transcript reported to FMP

Im looking for nancy stirling born april1921 on the 1921 census. On the 1939 register shes living in bristol (whitchurch) with her mother brother and sister alice (alice was born in hexham 1924). The mothers maiden name was elizabeth gunton and father william stirling. Ive tried for years to find nancy and her brothers birth record and the fathers birth record to no avail, so im hoping someone may be able to help me. Nancy married in 1955 in bristol.

As hexham is near the border of Scotland could they have been born there

Just to add I believe Nancy's brother could have been william o s ferrol born 1923 mother maiden name was gunton
