There are other curious examples of name changing between baptism and Civil Registration.

Could you please give details

ROSIE
Thank you for your response.
I was in the middle of adding/modifying my post and must have pressed the Send button and then had an incoming 90 minute phone call!  I will try to get my head back into 'brickwall' mode of posting.   Further detail to come.

The Common Room / Re: Definition of adulterer/adulteress

MIKE,
I am naive in this area, after a brief search at Wikipedia, I find substantial 'grey areas' in the various legal definitions in relation to the Child/Adult boundaries.

For those of you with sharper minds and who can cope with definitional contradictions,
do I have to be an ADULT to be an ADULTERER?
If so, what is the definition of an ADULT in our United Kingdom please?

I now want to read more about the early H. sapiens and the modern interpretation of the research.  In that respect the programme has done its job.

If these non-specialist programmes encourage any of us to explore and extend our curiosity beyond the paper based records to include our earlier roots, then the programme has contributed successfully to amazement and wonder about the subject of the programe title!

MABEL and COMBERTON,
You have helped considerably and I have been able to find a few more records.
They also seem to have had a son with the most uninspiring name of John BROWN!
This might be the boy getting married...

John Edward Brown
1917–1994
Birth 18 FEB 1917
Death 26 OCT 1994 • STAFFORD, Staffordshire, England

His father is listed by these initials but of course these might get rearranged!

Death Unknown

there are two possible men with these three forename initials HRW but in either RAF or RN.

This news item has just hit the BBC headlines.....
Whilst I have yet to properly research the topic, I feel that we should all explore our reactions to this centralized Government initiative might impact upon our genealogical interests.
I shall be interested to heard your diverse reactions, [more wise than my own!]
