Could it be that if his father's name was Henry that he had been called Harry and it was presumed by others that his correct name was Harold. |

I have had a second read at the message where you state that the father was Harold Thompson. |

I wouldn't presume that his name was John Henry. ;) People made up things for their marriage certificates all the time. Up to and including their own names. |

Pardon me -- you said two Ns in Winnifred -- and you need an S on Owens: |

There are six Thompson-OwenS births in Cardiff -- 1925, 1929, 1930, 1932, 1938, 1942, one of whom is Winifred. |

Got ya -- I was the one disregarding the double N you'd shown in Winnifred, and I suspect the certificate for that RJT is missing its S on Owens, is what I was getting at. |
