Is it worth trying to figure this family out ? UPDATED

[craizi daizi]

Hi all

I have written about this family before,
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,244503.msg1335336.html#msg1335336
 
And now after getting Alfred Lionels marriage cert - where he claims to have a different mother...yes another name !
I am wondering if it is worth even trying to following this family,  well trying to,  am at my wits end and when ever i try to progress,  i end up with another name change.

Really these people are driving me crazy.

Any suggestions ??

Daizi now the board is rather quiet at the moment....perhaps you have chosen a good time to post your query   Oh we all have one or two like this

Daizi I'll link it just to  make it a tad easier for all those chatters just chaffing at the bit to help you...Hope you don't mind.

Thanks Cando,   

On Alfred's wedding cert he says his mothers name is Florence Mitchum(am)  which we know is wrong because of his birth cert,  which says Mary Jane Dixon....

But after further looking i noticed that one of the children born in = Alfred Edward born 1875 Vict and died 1875,  any way,  birth is mother Mary Jane Dixon ,  on death is Mary Jane Mitchison ??

This death is when they went by the KING name....Blimey 

Is there a Mitchison  /  Dixon dont sound the same,  what is this family doing to me

 I wonder was he raised by someone other than his birth mother?  Just a thought.

Daizi I wonder if there  may have been some illiteracy coming into play here...just another thought.....and if there had been some name changes

Edit...going back to read the other post very thoroughly and put it on paper....will get back to you shortly....depending on the level of confusion.

Thanks Cando,   

I am confused tooo.   

Illiteracy - maybe,  but for him to change from James King  to William Johnson,  and her from Mary Jane DIXON to Mary Jane Mitchison and then Florence Mitchum is a bit weird,

Have three birth certs and a marriage cert if you want to have a look,   on Alfred's death cert says parents unknown !

Yes confusion....

Now you have Mary Jane DIXON's signature on  those birth certs.  I wonder if James KING/William JOHNSON registered any births?  As you say all his other details are similar.

Hey Cando, 

Yes Mary Ann seems to have signed ALfred Lionels birth cert - only looked at his,  she signs it Mary Jane Johnson,   

It also names all the other kids born - some deceased,  but these kids on the indexs are all born Mary Jane Dixon and James King....


thanks for all this.,  as i said i can send all the certs if you wasnt a loook,.

Yes I may need a look at some certs...will pm my email address....or do you want to link them as an image to a post?

But after further looking i noticed that one of the children born in = Alfred Edward born 1875 Vict and died 1875,  any way,  birth is mother Mary Jane Dixon ,  on death is Mary Jane Mitchison ??

Wonder who was the informant for that death....just curious.

Have solved a couple of other identity issues by signatures on bdm's....but if James/William didn't sign any.  Oh have you their marriage cert in 1873?

Have you Mary Jane's death?

Cheers

Hi Cando,   

will send the certs, 

No dont have the 1873 marriage,  but that will be the next one i get,

And no also to Mary Janes death,  there is a couple,  but have NO IDEA what name to look under.....

Maybe she remarried a Mitchum/am  but i cant see a marrriage either,
