FOUNTAIN Frederick 31 Leighton B. 3b 257

Hi again lady K.
I have checked in BMD sections andd have confirmed marriage of NEWMAN Henry Fountain to FAWDRY Winifred Ellen.
Registered in Southam (Warwickshire). Jul-Sept 1907, Vol 6d, Page 1457.

So it refers to the 'Fountain' part as a second name, but as you have seen on the 1911 Census, and also on my mother's birth and marriage certificates, she and her parents are referred to as 'Fountain Newman'.

The mystery deepens. However i have ordered the certificate and this may provide some answers.

re. Births Sep 1909 (>99%)
Newman Winifred Maria Southwark 1d 50a . That is my Aunt and once again everything refers to Fountain Newman

There is a public tree on Ancestry with Henry son of Ann and Frederick and is recorded as marrying Emma Cripps.

I was wondering why Henry Fountain Newman in your original post became Henry Fountain.
when searching FMP I just used the search criteria Henry and Eaton Bray.
ther was no Henry of the earlier birthdate nor was their Henry Newman.
I think you will need the marriage cert before you go any furthur.

Thanks Lady K

Some interesting things there.

As you can see the ages are so often wrong on censuses.

On the 1891 one, Richard, the head of the family is listed as 40. However on the 1881 one he is listed as only 8 years younger.

suppose Harry b1881, could well be the Henry i am looking for still unsure here the Newman part came in. As you say will have to investigate further. ttermpting now to locate the date and place of henry Fountain Newman and Winifred fawdry's wedding. Possibly in Witney, Oxon.

Several possibilities here.
The 2 censuses show Richard and Eliza as parents rather than Ann but birthdate is nearer. I think you need a little more investigation here.
