Request for Help. John GALVIN 1852 Melbourne Victoria

[cando]

What do you mean "our family has the wrong name"?   Who was the informant on the birth registration?

Do you have John GALVIN's death certificate?   
Who was the informant?
Was Mary mentioned as his wife?
Were the children named as issue of the 'relationship' and was Alfred John included?

Cheers

Hello all;

Wrong Name    Should it have been Morrison all along?

Did John Morrison adpot the name John Galvin here in Australia?

A coincidence perhaps but her third husband was also a John

Have you noticed that Mary & John CREFT had a son John Arthur Pollard Creft born 1875 in CAST #7652 died aged 7 weeks same place 1875 #6945

There also a duplicate registration for their marriage one 1868(109X1869) the other 1869 (109)

regards

Robyn

GalvinClear is only giving us information which was entered in the family bible by John GALVIN.

The reason I asked who was the informant on the 1854 birth of Alfred John [I am hoping it is John MORRISON] then GalvinClear will be able to compare the signatures with the signature on the Will, ie if he has downloaded it from PROV and of course he has John G's writing in the family bible.

There are many reasons for registrations being amended with the R and/or cross referenced.  I have a couple in my family where incorrect information was entered by the priest on the civil registration and the parish record was correct.  Registrars also made errors.

John is a rather commonly occurring name
