Hi, perhaps someone can give some idea as to the conundrum i have. I have a Phoebe Agnes Cox born to A Phoebe Ellen Alford and Alfred Cox in Windsor Berkshire 1926. I have been unable to find a marriage for an Alford and a Cox, however I did find a Phoebe Ellen Alford marrying an Alfred Denham in Windsor in 1924. There is not another marriage for her between 1924 and 1926. I am a little stumped as to why possibly they changed their surname from Denham to Cox in an 18 month period. Any ideas greatly appreciated
