So why does George Charles born 1905 have mother's maiden name BOON

ADDED

I reread the attestation forms for each Frederick, you are assuming they are the same man.

Look at the signatures they are not the same.

1871 Frederick has 2 children GEORGE CHARLES and Ellen
1876 Frederick has 3 children, Maude, GEORGE FREDERICK and Ellen
--
1876 Frederick says his father is Edward Verrier and mother is Jane Elizabeth- his wife is Elizabeth and he can't remember when they married (so they probably didn't)
1870 Frederick remembers exactly when he was married 6 October 1895 to Jane Elizabeth Bryant

1876 Frederick is of 50 Warren Street and is discharged to 36 Claredon Street, Ruston Road.
1870 Frederick address is always Rising Hill Street, Pentonville.

1876 Frederick has tattoos on his medical form
1870 Frederick does not.

1876 has a pale complexion, brown eyes and fair hair
1870 has a fresh complexion, brown eyes and fair hair.

I would ask are they cousins?

So why does George Charles born 1905 have mother's maiden name BOON

Because his mother Jane Elizabeth Bryant grew up with her mother who was living with William BOON and was known as Boon for most of her life pre marriage.  Given this was her everyday name it is not difficult to image that she gave this name when registering the birth.  I have the birth cert and it is definitely her/him.

There are two Frederick/George Verriers - father and son.  The father was not present at Risinghill street in 1911 and Jane was described as widowed.  By 1921 he was back in the family home in Risinghill Street.  The son (who was much older than the other children) was not listed as a child when his father enlisted in 1919 as he was no longer a child and had in fact already married and enlisted himself.  He lived in Warren Street.

There is much fluidity with names in this family Frederick George (father) married as George and appeared as Frederick Charles on his daughter Ellens marriage record.  He had brothers called George and Charles so it is quite confusing but I have all the records and I am pretty sure all the military records belong to one or the other.  I just have no death record for the elder.

Thanks
