As pointed out the name has been misread as Kamblen.’

If you just search Henry Beale, you can find it.

Misread and enter as Kamblen by who?
The G.R.O.?

So we now have the correct name for my Great Grandfather, Hackney Carriage driver in St. Pancras!

Watch out Beale family.....

[heywood]

Free BMD has it as Hamblen
GRO matters if you are sending for a copy of the birth certificate. You will be able to see there perhaps how the error has occurred.

[Calpe 1704]

On the G.R.O. image it is so clear the first forename Henry is spelt with a H.
Yet for some reason the G.R.O. have mistaken the spelling on the second forename.
Instead of it being Hamblen they have entered it as Kamblen.

When on earth did the spelling of Hamblen become Hamblin?

On the G.R.O. image it can be clearly seen as Hamblen!

[heywood]

At least you have it now

So when you've got the birth cert of Henry Hamblen Beale it should give you his mother's name and address. Perhaps we could locate her on 1871 census and them on 1881 census.

Yes Calpe let us know what the certificate says

Good afternoon folks,
Many thanks for such wonderful help.
The digital image of the Birth Certificate shows: -
Born - 01/06/1872
Name - Henry Hamblem
Mother - Maria Beale, Manchester Street, Pancras
Father - Blank.


So the mother was Beale and Henry Hamblem would of course be a Beale.

In the 1901 and 1911 Census returns we have him:-
Henry Hamblin - spelt H a m b l i n

Ive done a search in https://www.freecen.org.uk/  their records of 1871 & 1891 and his name appears as Henry Hamblin.

Its strange that somewhere down the line Henry Hamblem dropped his surname 'Beale'.
Why would that be?
Surely that would have to be certified officially somewhere?

I wonder if there is a Marriage Registration/Certificate of Henry Hamblin [Hamblem] (Beale) and registered somewhere to Beatrice Lilian Turner?

A person can call themselves anything they like
Just as long as it isn't for purposes of fraud or deception.

And, he dropped hid MIDDLE name of Beale, not his surname?!
