There are two possible Geoffrey Cross's showing on freebmd. One baptised in 1924, and one in early 1925.


As PH posted, there are none showing with second forename beginning with G ...... but this is not unusual. Many babies are registered with only one name, and then the second name is added at baptism. The birth certificate is not amended in such cases.



Are there any more clues on that marriage certificate??


eg, names of witnesses?

There are no births with a middle intial of G on BMD.

The G appears on the marriage entry.
