I have a Florence Carl b1892 Manchester,i have her father on her marriage cert as John Carl, found her on the census with father John but Ross not Carl. Thinking that her mother had been married before but why would John Ross become John Carl was this something written for convenience on the marriage cert? or am i completely barking up the wrong tree?
