Thanks Shaun.
Presumably he was raised with the Conway family.

Do you know what happened to him?

Richard Thomas Franklin Thompson Conway was married in Chesterfield RD in 1896, to Sarah Ann Wilkinson.

For info.

Richard & Sarah married in Chesterfield Registry Office

Is this Richard on 1891 census?

Richard Conway
Age   20 occ Railway Clerk
Relationship   Lodger
Birth Place   Newtonards, Ireland
Residence Place   Hornsey, Hornsey, Middlesex, England

Should Mr Conway be Frederick?

I see a likely family in 1891 1111/116 - living in Hertford.

These appear to be some of the birth reg.

It’s confusing. I would think your friend has death details etc but Find a Grave has burials for:

Frank Thompson Conway 1921 aged 77/78 yrs (abt 1843)
Section DD1 grave 17250

FredConway - same grave 1877 - 1927

Rose Anne Conway1853 - 1931 - same grave

City Road Cemetery, Sheffield

***
Free BMD - 1921 death
Franklin T Conway, 78 yrs Ecclesall Bierlow

Now, what is going on?

I agree Heywood it is confusing……..has Thomas changed his name for some reason 

Edited

Henry Walter THOMPSON married 1906 Sheffield
as Henry Walter Thompson CONWAY  father Franklin Thompson CONWAY, ex soldier

[ShaunJ]

Here's what I think.   

Thomas Franklin Thompson deserted from the Royal Navy in August 1864.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D7904728

That same month he appears to have joined the army as Frederick Conway.

When he marries in 1870 he uses his real name.  At some point he would have had to explain the situation to his CO in order to bring his wife onto the establishment.  His CO must have been very understanding, as there is no mention of his real name in the surviving army records. ADDED He was obviously a very good soldier (rising to Colour Sergeant) and the Army would not have wanted the Navy to reclaim him.

[heywood]

That sounds good, Shaun, well done.

That sounds good, Shaun, well done.

I think you solved the mystery Shaun - well done

For info.

Am I correct that Rose has signed her name on the m/c ? If so, is there any significance that Rose A CONWAY made her mark on son Benjamin &. Dau Rose’s birth certificates

[ShaunJ]

Am I correct that Rose has signed her name on the m/c ?

It's a transcription for return purposes so you can't rely too much on it for details like that.
