Henry Report 25 Sep 2012 09:22

Good morning I am trying to find Annie Robrtson who married James Marling in 1884.My problem is I have their daughters birth cert(she was my Nan) but their names were changed to those above in (or at least on my Nan's birth cert) in 1949, Before that they were James Mardell and Annie Robinson, I have some other info. on this but it's complicated.
Kind regards Harry

Sorry Henry but I am confused. A couple marrying in 1884 could not have been the parents of a child born in 1949. Have you got some dates wrong, skipped a generation, or am I misinterpreting your post?

Hello Henry - you say you have some other info on this, is it possible for you to share that, if it will help clarify what's happened?

Going by what Jonesey has posted they were always Marling.

Is it possible for you to tell us who your nan was and when/where born (providing it's not breaching anyone's privacy).

pm from Henry:

"Hi it's not private it's just compilcated. The other information is that in 1949 they changed they names on my Nan's birth certificate. Annie Robertson on my Nan's birth cert was Annie Robinson and her dad James Marling was James Mardell, in 1949 Annie died and Nan's cert was changed the read "for Mardell read Marling" and for Robinson read Rebertson" . but I have proof that James was born a Marling, and to be honest I can't make head nor tail of it lol
Kind regards Henry(Harry)"

Harry - who is the "they" that changed the details. Are you saying that the registration index was altered?

MarieCeleste - Louisa Marling - 1891 - St.George in the East It's been added at the bottom of the page.


Harry, does it give no indication of who approved the alteration on the certificate?

There wouldn't be many people who would know that it had been entered incorrectly. Only the parents.

Do you know if your Nan travelled abroad in 1949? If so, she may have needed a copy of her birth certificate, and noticed that it was wrong.

It may just have been a genuine mistake, because the registrar's writing was so awful it had been copied down wrong.

Brother William is registered as Marlin.
