Need help with Charles's wife please.
Charles Frederick Kimberley born 1899 Southwark, In 1923 he married Mary A A Walsh. Mary was born about 1895 but her surname seems to alter. On the 1939 census she is born on the 1st Sept 1895 married to Charles with a daughter called Elizabeth. Both ancestry and FindMyPast have Mary's baptism on the 22nd Sept 1895 birth again 1 Sept 1895, she was baptised at St. John, Walworth. Now the problem, her name is Mary Ann Alice Carpenter, parents Alfred and Elizabeth Carpenter. Looked for a marriage before 1923 with no luck, maybe she was adopted? Can find no birth reg on the GRO site or FreeBMD with the surname Walsh or Carpenter only one I could find was on ancestry.
"Mary Ann A Carpenter, R date 1895, Oct-Dec, St Saviour Southwark, V1d, P30.
Have I the right Mary who married Charles if so how did her surname get changed.
Any help would be appreciated
