Is Olive May Weston the same Olive May Snow who becomes Olive May Thompson?

That is the same wording as his probate , which is listed under all the different names.

Oh sorry did nt see that , I wonder if George Edwin Bolton could have been another alias.

Well, it certainly looks as though Harry Stantiford Thompson and Harry Weston are the same person.
Although I thought I had births for both of them.

Earlier, I posted this 1911 from FS for Harry Stantisford Thompson
 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWL4-M7Y

There is no address shown here and we can’t post further details of course as it is 1911.

However, the address is familiar - it has been mentioned in Electoral registers searches previously.

I don’t think this electoral register entry has been mentioned yet. The address has but not this early, perhaps.

24 Bishops Road Fulham - Harry James Weston

I don’t have full access to newspapers but there are several adverts for 24 Bishops Rd.
There seem to be horse racing guides/tips - apply to the Publishers.
Also Property - apply to Westons, same address.

Various others too.

Claire,
Back to Harry James Vernon, it might be best to list dates and addresses  where you definitely have him.
This is so fascinating but we don’t know if your Harry is part of it all.

Yes it look like multiple businesses were being run from 24 Bishops Road Fulham: publishers, racing tips, betting, ladies hairdressing, estate agents, dentist. Here are the directory listings for 1934 and 1938. FULham 0846 was the phone number for G L Collins Ltd (also known as GLC Ltd), Weston the turf commission agent, and Estate Service Agency.

Harry Stantiford Thompson married Kate Florence Peters in 1907 Croydon.

They had at least one child Harold Edward Thompson born in1909/10

Kate Florence died in 2Q 1919 in Fulham age 32.

Harry S Thompson married Olive M Snow 3Q 1929 in Fulham.  (have not seen what the 'S' stands for) but very likely the right one.

A son and daughter Thompson (nee Snow) born in 1935 and 1937 in Brentford.
(not sure if I can put their names in this message as they may well be living.)

There is still the question of why Harry S Thompson - seemingly a wealthy man -used aliases.
What is the link between Harry S Thompson and Harry James Vernon?

If this is the same Harry S marriage - those birth entries are late entries. There are three Snow children born c 1920 all shown as late entries in 1930s.

I'm not sure if I can put the children's full name....

BIRTH REGS

G C T (mmn Snow)  reg S1919 Brentford
J O T (mmn Snow) reg J1920   Brentford
R J T (mmn Snow) reg D1921   Brentford

Harry S Thompson married Olive M Snow S1929 in Fulham

BIRTH REGS

G C T (mmn Snow) reg D1935
J O T  (mmn Snow) reg J1937
R J T (mmn Snow) reg J1937

So the three children were born and births registered before their parents Harry S Thompson and Olive M Snow married

Then 6 years after the parents married the children are re-registered  !

Why?
