AntonyMMM, thank you for this suggestion.  Sorry for no repsonse.  I'm currently tied for time for a few days, but I will respond shortly with a private message.   Regards,  Annetoday.

Thank you KGarrad for your response.  I was not thinking of the websites from GRO records as listing from an index, but more like the older parish records from the detail.   Which I now admit was stupid!

Thank you AntonyMMM for all these details.  Keeping them in mind, and KGarrad's information, I’ve been back to the Freebmd records for my current case and, on the same surname search, have found a record where changes made later are noted by a blue ‘tick’ against the record.  Therefore, I assume the absence of a tick means there were no comments to add and so the couple were there together.  C J must just be two more names for the child.

I did send for a copy of the records from GRO, but they refunded all of my money saying -  “The information stated on the application does not match the entry identified.”  I was a bit unsure of the correct first name of the father, but as I know he would not have gone to the registration I clearly have the wrong record and I need to do some more research.

Thank you both again for your help

Anne

The Common Room / illegitimate child given fathers name after first registration

Hello,  When looking at birth records, i.e. those we can see on various ancestry sites, how would it show if an illegitimate child was first registered in the mother's name and then later changed to the father's or perhaps there was an adoption?   Expecting to find a mother's name only, using a free bmd site, I recently came across a child registered on the same page and line number with two different surnames and "C J"  after both names.  Could it be a "court judgement" allowing/forcing the biological father to accept his child?  Or, is it likely that two children of the same names, not popular ones, coincidentally were registered on the same page and both had "C J" included?  This was a late 20th century registration.  Thanks.  Anne

Thank you for this info, Arthur.

I have found this link, which indicates Bayton registers are available for a subscription.  https://mfhs.org.uk/worcestershire-parish-records/.     I'll see where it goes.

Hello,  I first found it in FamilySearch and then in FindMyPast.  I had thought about the handwriting but failed to find anything over numerous attempts, e.g my ideas, soundex, variable names on the other sites. I've even tried to split it, using Cuscam as though it was three names not two.

The Common Room / Fransuscuscam Humax - marriage 1620
« on: Friday 18 August 17 09:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello,  I came across the name Fransuscuscam Humax, on a marriage in 1620, whilst trawling for my own family tree and cannot translate it.  I assume it has something to do with the civil disobedience where priests 'latinised' names, but I can usually see what the original probably was, but this one has defeated me. 

I cannot find the name 'Humax' anywhere else, re. ancestry, except for this particular wedding.  I guess Fransuscuscam is Francis or Frances, but does cuscam or suscuscam mean anything in Latin?  The spouse is noted as Johanes Whooper.  Can anyone help with a translation, please?

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Mary Polin Greenwich 1939

Thank you all for your replies and your investigations, but I have been deep in other matters and have not checked the Forum for several days.

A special thank you to you, Annette7, for your time and efforts, and your cost.

Give me a little while and I'll look into all the information you've given me and see what I can put together and come back when I can add something to the jigsaw.  Sadly there is now no-one alive to ask the obvious questions.

Link to previous topic I raised and closed in 2016.  I thought I had a new lead with Mary Polin.   I have no interest in going over this old ground, but thank you for the offer.

I didn't even think he was married; I heard he 'died in the war' and 'the war' was not something anyone mentioned much.  However, the 1939 Register, with his correct dob, says he was married. 

For family reasons I am sure he did not have a son - to carry on the name, which has now died out from our genes line.

I've tried the CWGC with no luck and I've checked the next of kin on the army records and none match my Fred.  I suspect he was 'not fit to fight' for some reason as he was ARP for the hotel where he was a waiter. This was added to the Register after the initial listing - different writing.  I have contacted the hotel - Great Eastern London, but they have been taken over and have no records.

My one hope is to get the railway workers' salary records, but these are not on line and it would mean buying about 7 photocopied sets to try to find him, always assuming he was a permanent employee who would show on the records.
