NO ............ Emma and Frances can't be sisters ............. Emma is too young to marry John Thomas in 1863!!! She'd only be about 13!

John


Father's name can be wrong on marriage certificate for several reasons ......

1. Child was illegitimate, and gave a name because it looked better ...... any name could be chosen, eg grandfather, uncle, a well-known person, picked out of the air

2. Child had been raised by a man who married his mother, really believed said man was his father because that was the only man he had knwon

3. Real father had left the family

I was able to find this William Henry Gladden and have found his mother was Emma Allen born Sheerness, I found she married a John Thomas Gladden but not found them together after that however I did find John Thomas Gladden as a Boarder in 1971 living with a family called Tanner also a Boarder was a William Allen ,and it states father in law, so presume this could be William Henrys father, but what has thrown me is that on his marriage to Amelia Cane it states his father is Charles Gladden, occ Carpenter
