Hi greyghost, looks like it should be the right family but 2 years is quite a big difference isn't it, but thank you for having a look.

Look for his birth on the GRO site to establish MMN

Research should be fact-based as far as possible

Wow, this looks interesting, would be nice if families didn't fall out and not speak or pass down information!!

June has not actually been entered twice on the Register - the original entry is as June M Bennett at No 3 on the Register with the 3 surname changes shown

Looks like someone has tried to make more sense of the entry and added it to the bottom of the transcription

Thank you greyghost, I did think that meant she had been married 3 times.

Same family as 1911 - so perhaps not the right family as the birth is shown to be December Quarter which wouldn't fit a birth month of April
