An Arbon puzzle....

[DonnaLou84]

If it's on the full GRO index - I wonder why can't they find it??   

Here's the link

No idea, even the lady at GRO was confused..

Here he is...
ELIZABETH, FREDERICK  JAMES
Mother's Maiden Surname:  — 
GRO Reference: 1924  M Quarter in PETERBOROUGH  Volume 03B  Page 301

Perhaps his mother had Elizabeth as a middle name, read as surname by the GRO?

Sadly the GRO have not made 1924 births available as £3 instant digital images.
Very disappointing 
A pdf copy is now £8.

Wondering how common this might be in the new GRO birth indexes.
Looking from 1920 - 1924, they have
10 Males indexed under surname Elizabeth
12 Females indexed under surname Elizabeth
All of them have a dash for the mother's maiden surname.

In the same period FreeBMD has 0 births with surname Elizabeth

The record I had definitely had his mother's maiden name as Arbon...so now very confused

Hopefully you will now be able to obtain his birth cert using the info given by Jon.

What did you put in to find that? When I search..the only one that comes up is my grandad, Alfred George William Arbon
