Find Ancestors

I will be sitting with baited breath for the 13th too. Thank you to everyone who joined in this thread and gave their thoughts and ideas..........Team work !!!! Night, Night All, Joan x

Can't wait for the 13th. Ozi.

Kath, I could do with some of that???? :)))))

Yes Nibs, I was thinking the same thing. There was an awful lot of bigamy about at that time apparently. See Sharleen, I still haven't gone yet.....but I am now. Goodnight everyone. Kath. x

You must not delete its all part of this .. and yes I agree ...coz I cant think how else Katherine would have found out.......Prehaps Thomas was not dead or disappeared!!!!! prehaps he was still there

Kath, I agree. I would WANT all of the certificates to prove this theory.

If Sharleen's mum was the only one registered in hospital, I suppose that would probably back up the theory that she was the only one registered by her mum (hense the two maiden names) and the other two probably by their dad (with just the one maiden name). Roll on the 1911 census.......wonder how many of us will still be beavering away then?? Have to go now, to hand over to son (you can't send 30 year old sons to bed Sharleen, LOL.) Kath. x

So Joan, How did Katherine find out about wolstoncroft to use it in 1935 on her marridge certificate to Stanley??

Yes thats what I,ve been doing I,ve ordered them should be here 13th March.....And then I will let you all know and I will try digging Auntie for any more info.... Thank you all so much for your help on this it has been great

there is more here coz Kate married Henry she got rid of the name Wolstoncroft, and when Katherines birth was registered mmn is Pogson.........

Sharleen. When a baby is born the mothers maiden name is entered on the cert and the registration. Katherine, Evelyn and Diana all had Kate as mum and her maiden name was POGSON.

thats what I think we will do .....so 6th march 2011 at 9pm????please put it in your computer note pads

Hi Nibs, was there a war on. ? We could always wait for the 1911 census !

Kate registered her 3 girls names in Williams ....but it was onlt Katherine who put the Wolstoncroft on her marriage certificate when she married Stanley in 1935....... Now as Joan knows Katherine hated her mum(kate) ....coz Kate let her dad die and Katherines dad was Henry, so she tried to change her name to Wolstoncroft.........Probably thinking it was her mums maiden name or out of spite for Kate

is everyone with it ........ My mums birth was registered in hospital BUT my aunties births were registered when they came home......

I can understand that Joan, but only if Sharleen's mum was the only daughter that Katherine registered herself, otherwise you would think that the other two girls would have the two mother's maiden names as well. I think Sharleen needs all three girls birth certificates to see if the father registered the other two...in which case i suspect your theory is right. However if Katherine registered all three births, then there is still a mystery. Kath. x

Well kath, I think she had an affection for the name and so Katherine C 'adopted' it as a double barrel name and then passed it down to Jean Sharleen's mum. What does Sharleen and family think of this sequence of events ? What happened to Mr Wolstencroft, as Kate remarried after a year ?

Kate didnt wait long before re-mayying but then waited 2 years to have a child !!!!!!!! Mum says thats the sort of thing her mother would have done

talking to mum................ be back in a mo

Maybe I'm not thinking straight Joan, but that still doesn't seem to explain why Sharleen's mum has Wolstencroft or Williams as mother's maiden name. It seems that all three girls born to Kate Pogson were born after her marriage to Mr. Williams, so none of them should be unsure of their maiden name. Or am I missing something?????? Kath. x
