according to one it was Graham in 1901 then they seem to change to brown
someone else says they were always brown

all I know is I cant get a copy of Rgeinalds birth certificate they say it is not locatable which makes me think the story that he change his name is plausable

I think Herbert M is a different chap.

Who said the birth certificate was not locatable?  Is it this one you tried?

Reginald Herbert L Brown
Dec 1897
Lincoln
7a 515
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

I have tried GRO and Lincoln they both say not locatable thats why I am having so much trouble I have tried giving them all the ref numbers I have collected over the weeks of research but so far to no avail

Oh  :(

Would a birth for one of the other children help confirm anything - Winifred or Wilfred - if you can't get Reginald.

This could be their births both under Brown.

Winifred - Sep 1901 Sheffield 9c 616 Sheffield
Wilfred J - Jun 1911 8b 705 Prescot


Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

anything might help
charlottes Healds   death is shown and confirmed as
Charlotte BROWN    13/08/1930      Age: 58   
she is said to be 22 when they married in 1897 however her death cert says she was born 1872 not 1875 which made her 25 not 22

dose this make any difference or is that just part of the joys of researching problems
I think I just need to be more forthright about these certificates or I will just get nowhere fast

Thanks guys keep your fingers crossed  :o

Just one of the joys I'm afraid.  Possibly she didn't want to appear that much older than the groom!

Good luck and let us know how you get on :)

Just a thought, did you get the marriage certificate, what was Herbert's occupation, and his father's.  Was his father deceased? who were the witnesses? can we get to the past via this information....
