Ledgerwood Family

[gortonboy]

Im puzzled as to why there is already a reference to the Ledgerwood surname in Gladys birth??  I could understand the children born to Thomas Young being called Ledgerwood in the 1911 census because  Rosina had married Charles,,,,but why the reference to the surname before she got married ?

[gortonboy]

it looks like the son Charles Edward was actually  Edward Charles,,and he also has the Ledgerwood name in his birth record .

I'm puzzled as well, the original record is there and it's very clearly Ledgerwood.

Ok,,,think ive sussed it,,,,Thomas Young  and Charles Edward Ledgerwood are the same man !!

[Sinann]

That
Or Charles Edward is the father but can't marry Rosina for some reason so  his best pal Thomas does, gets killed, by than Charles Edward is free to marry her.

No,,they are the same man     I found Thomas Youngs service record,,and on it,,,luckily for us,,it states in red ink,,  "alias Charles Edward Ledgerwood " then in brackets M3059

He enlisted in the Army Service Corps in 1884....served 21 years,,discharged Chatham in 1906...his service was described as Exemplary.He was a Company quarter master Sergeant.  He was awarded the Egyptian medal 1885,,The South Africa medal 1901   with clasps for  Transvaal,Cape Colony,Wittenburg. He was Also mentioned in despatches in 1901.
I wonder if they found out he had enlisted under a false name,,and due to his good service they let him stay in the army...maybe the notation in red ink  (M3059) is a reference to some sort of military inquiry that was held ??   Anyway..makes sense of the strange birth references.
