Hi There, Can anyone help me please? I was wondering whether it was possible for a child to be registered twice. One as the full name and again as the shortened version?. Thanks Richard |

I have found in the June quarter of 1886 Archer Charles T Jones and Archibald Charles Jones. Both in Worcestershire. Do you think its the same person with 2 variants of the name? |

They are in different districts with different reference numbers. Not the same person. |

I can only find 1 in the 1891 census and I cant find a death, so I assumed it was the same person. Thanks for the help. Regards Richard |
