The usual suggestion is that her mother had been married before in which case the mothers name on the BC would be

Dorrien Wareham, formerly Owen, previously Dix. Dix being her maiden name. However, her previous married name would be reflected in her 1937 marriage reference, which it isn't.

Could she have had an extra marital affair while her husband was away fighting, or been widowed & had a child with another man who accepted paternity outside of wedlock? All sorts of things went on during the war years!

To be honest, the easiest way to find out the full details is to purchase the birth certificate.

This may be her father - though it sheds no light on the Owen side of things:

His parents' marriage, I think - so not as if he's using his mother's maiden name as an alternative:

ArrgyllGran I have sent you a message.

All I know is that Her mum and dad split up. She has had no contact with her and has never met her.

Thanks

Does your friend know anything else about her - has she had contact with her, and if so, when?

"Your" Deanna may have emigrated, not married, and still be alive, in which case we wouldn't be able to find her from what's readily searchable online.

Ah, that lady died in 2015.

She had 3 sisters, and I don't see the births of any siblings for your friend's Deanna.
No husband mentioned in the obituary, but she had a son.

I've PM'd the link to the obituary, which is easily found from a Google search, in any case.

Thanks ArgyllGran

Its really strange, she can't just disappear. Perhaps that is her. Her age is correct and it is not that far from Coventry.

All the best Jane

I have no idea why her birth is registered with different surnames.

Searchelectoralroll shows a Deanna Owen, aged 75, living in Wales, and 192.com says she was on the 2015 ER.

Absolutely no idea if she could be the right person or not.

I'll PM the details.

I was wondering whether someone could help me. I am trying to find out about this lady for my friend. She was born in Nuneaton in the Dec Quarter. Her birth was registered twice once in the name of Wareham and once in the name of Owen.

I am trying to find out about this lady. ? why her birth was registered in two names and what happened to her. I cant find a marriage or a death for her.

Ay information would be really great. I have to be really careful as she could still be alive.

Thanks for your help Jane.
