Hi Pam

I've sent you a pm

Wendy

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Hi Kath

I can't find another marriage for her and I think she would be too young to have married before. It's difficult to give any more information as I think the relative in question may still be alive. The first registration was for a Gwendoline Cable born in Cardiff in the March quarter of 1926. She was re-registered in the March quarter of 1934. I will withhold her name for the time being.

Regards

Pam

I don't think it will be an adoption - more likely a child born out of wedlock and re-registered at a later date. If the maiden name of the mother is different it could be that she was already married and used her first married name as her maiden name on the first registration. Without knowing the name and details it is difficult to tell without seeing the entry.

On looking on BMD records I came across the entry for one of my relatives and next to the entry it said see another entry and it gave me a another number. On looking at this entry it related to a child born about 6 years earlier with a different name and difference mother's maiden name. Does this mean that this relative was adopted into the family and re-registered. Any suggestions.

Regards Pam
