Hi Jan

Thank you for your thoughts on this, I will think about it over night, or when I wake up in the morning... well later this morning  ;)

I will let you know if I decide to go ahead and order it.  We can only hope there is a chance.

If it's not the right one, I can make a posting in the "unwanted documents..." board in case someone else might want it one day, for their family tree.  So even if it doesn't help me, it might help someone else.  :)

I'm off to bed now, will catch up again soon.
Thank you so much for your help.
Stella

I have another posibility for you.

Bejamin was born outside marriage. His father may have been Maundell but his birth may have been registered under his mothers name. If Harry and Rebecca were his uncle and aunt was the mother's maiden name Borthwick or Rebecca's maiden name?

My G Grandmother was registered as Kate Elizabeth and forever after known as Faith on every document, no idea why, but it could just be that simple  :)

Hi Rog and madpants

Thank you for your replies, it's great to hear your ideas.

This name thing is pretty complex  :-\

I wish they held a census every year or two, would make things heaps easier  ;)

I'm looking into the ideas I have been given, on the ancestry sites and bmd sites.  Mixing names up and seeing what comes up.  And I think I will go ahead and get the copy of George Mundell's birth cert.  I suppose there is a time when I have to take a chance... who knows?

Thank you for your help.
