She may simply have disliked the name Lizzie, and changed it. One can use any name as long as it isn’t with intent to defraud or deceive.
My stepmother was registered as Martha, but used the name Maisie all her life.

Thankyou all for your responses, It looks like Lydia and lizzie could be the same person?
I just do not understand the name change on the documents?

marriage certificate says Lydia but the birth records show Lizzie.
I'm not really understanding why that would be.
How do I view the original records?
thankyou all

Have sent Sharon a PM in case she does not realise there are replies here.

IF above correct then

Newspaper report - age 5 months. Inquest held due to sudden death.
Mother said had 6 children, 4 had had measles. Child had sore throat, poultice applied. OK at 4am, but looked wrong at 4.45 am - Doctor sent for, arrived within 5 minutes, pronounced death approx an hour previous. Child very thin, weighed only 6 ½ lbs despite having oatmeal and milk as well as breast. Lungs inflamed, right side of heart clotted with blood, kidneys and brain congested. Opinion was cause of death due to exhaustion following pneumonia. Verdict in accordance with medical evidence.

Trying to find Baptisms for the other children on FMP as those above.-

There are baptisms to a Giles and Ellen Caulder and Walter and Charlotte in Norbiton - each Father shown as a Greengrocer- around the same time.

Arthur George and Bertie are on Ancestry.
Bertie is listed as Belia also with wrong DoB, so presume mistake by original transcribers

Bertie was Baptised 30 November 1900 at All Saints, Witley,

DoB born 13 May 1888. HIs abode is given as K.E.S. Witley as are several of the other entries - probably King Edward's School

2 entries on FMP for Arthur George

Both say born 1 May 1878 and Baptised 25 August 1878.

Transcript has one baptism at St Paul, Kingston Road, the other Norbiton St Peter

In the space at the side of the St Paul one where the entry is on Page 10 of the OPR, P119 written has been written in which is the page in the St Peter OPR. A different person has signed to say who performed the Ceremony

(This same happens for several entries)

Of Elton Road, Father shown as a Fruiterer

There was a birth of a Lizzie Caulder in 1876 Kingston mmn Sanders - looks as though the child died same quarter.
