Thank you.

I had gone down this line but when I got his marriage certificate it threw me.

Wonder why he put Thomas as his father?

Jane's is left blank?!

Mysteries

Thank you for helping

Not unusual for an illegitimate child to make up a fathers name when they married so as to appear "respectable"

However - as it appears Jane was also illegitimate you have to wonder at his reasoning?  The only other explanation was that his biological father was called Thomas but not surname Carter.

Yes I assumed its because of the 'shame' factor.

Think I had better leave it there as I could be searching for years!

Thanks for the Ball marriage also.
