Hi Pam

re change of name on his marriage certificate .... ....could be just ignorant registrar/recording clerk transcribing the information into the records!!


If you buy the certificate you will be able to see what spelling he actually used!!

Sylvia
thank you for your quick reply and that information.
Interesting, I wonder why he changed the spelling of his first name and surname for the marriage.
thank you Pam

I can't see them on either the 1891 or 1901 censuses, so it looks as though they might have left the UK between 1882 and 1891!

My great grand father Sydney Robert Weatherley (b 1861) East Chislehurst, Kent married to Ellen Trebell.
They came to New Zealand, unable to find out when or how..
If anyone has any more information regarding their details etc, it would be greatly appreciated.
