Probably is your gran. My grannny was two different names on two census too. Her name was Susannah, and on the next one she was Susan. She was never called that to my knowledge, but who knows? I have very many mistakes on census...we all have. Deanna X |

My great-grandmother's name was Alice Matilda Wood. On her marriage cert her father is down as Charles Wood. She married in Croydon. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much more out about her, except that she lied about her age to get married in 1905! However, I just found a 1891 census record, Charles as Head and his daughter Matilda (with outher family members too). She's the right age, 4 at the time (Alice's death record says she was born in 1887) and in the same area she got married. So, how reliable are the census records? And could this really be Alice, under her middle name? Clare |
