Who actually registered the birth? Just thinking if a grandmother maybe she misunderstood the question...

Oh, really expectiated to be somebody else who didn't really know her details. Strange case, guess you may not ever get to the bottom of this one.

Isn't it maddening when you order a certificate to clarify a situation and it ends up presenting more questions.?

I sympathise, as I had a similar situation. I bought a certificate to clarify a surname, only to find that it was registered with a totally different mother's maiden name, to which I have no known connection :-0

Hi everyone

Think I may have sussed this one.

Marriage for Alice to Samuel states father as Edward Williamson.
Census for 1881 gives Alice's mother as Sarah.
Marriage for Edward to Sarah gives her maiden name as Patterson and there is a match on GRO for an Alice mmn Patterson in Stockport.
Death on Cheshire bmd for an Edward Williamson aged 35 which matches age of 33 on census.
Marriage for a Sarah Williamson nee Patterson to a William Spencer in Ashton in 1891. Ashton is only a couple of miles away from Stockport.

Thank heavens it was driving me nuts.

Thank you to everyone who posted.

Carole
