Hi,
It's so annoying when we follow a wrong line -but it happens to all of us - and often when you are researching for a friend
I only brought your attention to the "C" as it helps if they have a middle name especially when the name is not uncommon.

Bless you for posting an apology - not many do

Regards

I have been having a look round and it may be that Laurine and Lorraine are the same person:

Laurine Ada Bryant born 1901 July to Sept Plymouth (Volume 5b Page 244)

Lorraine A Bryant married to Frederick C England 1919

Lorraine A Bryant died 1933, Plymouth (which would tie in with with Laurine's birth)

Laurine may have decided to be known as Lorraine - there are very few of either around that time so it is possible she changed it prior to her marriage. Our ancestors seem to like changing their names or going by their middle names to make research a little more interesting!

Tried finding Frederick on the census and bmds but could find him on the census and the bmds are a bit sketchy.

I would suggest that you go for the marriage certificate as it will show where they were living when they were married, their ages and their father's names.

You could find Laurine's/Lorraine's family and any siblings AND if Frederick was born prior to 1901 to can track him through the census - which is easier when you have a father's name as well to confirm you have the right family and will also help confirm his birth/death.

Good luck

It seems pretty certain Laurine Ada and Lorraine Ada are the same person
Maybe she didn't change her name - maybe it was just spelled differently on documents

The certain way is to obtain birth details of Laurine Ada and marriage cert -and see if the father's "match"

Hi Suz & Thorneytale,
Thanks for all the help, I think safe bet Laurine is Lorraine & just had a look for her family. Father Albert Bryant, Mother Rhoda Elizabeth, thought this should be easy marriage to find but then realised mother from Guernsey lol. Don't think this is going to be an easy family to do. I know that I really need the marrage cert for Frederick & Lorraine, but not to sure if my friend realises that doing this can get expensive. Doing my family tree sent for 4 certs to get right one, all because ref number  been transcribed wrong.

Many thanks
