HI,
i certainly did study what you sent, maybe i wrote my question wrongly, if Rebecca Cheesman married Charles Ede, is it common practice in those days to have the name of your mother as your surname? Going by the 1941 census, i see Mary Age 1 and Rebbeca 25, with that information i am assuming Rebbeca had Mary before she married Charles Ede, and i did notice that you had highlighted the marriage between the two of them. Thanks for your help, never said i was smart. Cheers Denise

If a baby is born before the marriage then s/he will often continue to use the mother's surname afterwards. After all, it is no relation of the man the mother married.

Some stepfathers do "adopt" a child born before the marriage, giving it his name ........ remembering that "adopt" is a very fluid term, as adoptions did not become a legal form until mid-1927.

If a child is born after a marriage then it will naturally have the father's name as its surname ........... the mother's surname may be used as a second forename.




there is no hard and fast rule!

You seem to have taken no account at all of the info I have posted about Rebecca and her FIRST husband - the father of her Cheesman children - and the link I highlighted to the 1851 census postings which confirmed it as being accurate
