Hi all, I have just obtained a copy of my grandmother and grandfather marriage certificate, and for grandmothers name on it reads Millie Harbour otherwise Millicent Jones..why have 2 entries for one person.
-
Had she been previously married?
Or she had an alias? Ie her ‘offical name’ was one but she was commonly known as the other.
Did she have a step father? And commonly known by his surname?
Or was she born illegitimately and then her mother married?
I am sure there are other possible scenarios
-
Millie HARBOUR 1913
KNOWN AS MILLICENT JONES
children
MILLICENT PATRICIA 1932 BERNARD 1933 Died 1933
MILLIE HARBOUR 1913 KNOWN AS MILLICENT JONES
MARRIED JOSEPH CARTER SINCLAIR 1909 23JUNE 1935
Looking at the info…think she may have had children before she married.

That 1911 census entry on Family Search has some links to details added by a member.
They have included Millie's birth reg here https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/163256398?p=49543737&returnLabel=Henry George Harbour (GNTW-9RL)&returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.familysearch.org%2Ftree%2Fperson%2Fmemories%2FGNTW-9RL
You need to copy the whole line starting from https....to 9RL The link above only partially showing as a link :-\

Thanks for help and info, dad was born November 1935, Nana married June 1935, but had 2 children before getting married, could this be why using 2 surnames..
-
I think it may be that Millie's parents were not married and she went by either surname at any time, Harbour or Jones.
