Well Roy was reg as peatman at birth

Births Dec 1934
Peatman Roy H Peatman Grantham 7a 623

It looks for some reason she changed their name to Marshall in1948 according to the annotation on the 1939 reg

Maybe she lived with a mr Marshall and took his name by deedpole

I don't know if it could turn out to be any sort of clue, but the code RMA beside the 1948 date when the change of name was registered signifies Nottingham - so Iris was still living in Nottinghamshire in 1948.


Other changes of name on nearby pages have M after the place code, presumably meaning the change was because of marriage.
Iris and Roy's RMA code and date doesn't have anything after it, which I take to mean that it wasn't a result of marriage.

People whose names changed because of marriage have CR230 as an additional code.
Iris and Roy have NR230 instead. A Google search doesn't produce anything definite, but there are several suggestions that it means a change by Deed Poll.



"There is no key to most of the codes that appear against names in the register, and different ones were used during the half-century when the paper register was in use. Some are accompanied by a date, which will be the date when the register was updated; this may be the date of the event itself, such as a marriage. Sometimes there is a three-letter area code to show that the person had moved to another district."

I missed on the additional information from ArgyllGran. A bit of further digging online seems to indicate that the same code has been found on entries where ladies have divorced and reverted to their maiden name. Could NR mean "name revision"? I think NR230 relates to the form number that was completed to effect such a change. I had picked up on the RMA annotation as relating to a move into Nottingham. I am now wondering if Iris and her son were known as Marshall because she was unable to marry a Mr Marshall (perhaps he was already married), if she then later married him no change of name would be needed on the register. This doesn't explain why I haven't found a death registration for Iris under the surname Marshall. More digging required.

What was Iris's actual DOB on her birth cert?

I don't think that's been posted.

DOB re Birth Cert 5 Oct 1907, so the 1939 REG DOB is exactly 3 yrs out, which is why I am pretty convinced it is "my" Iris, along with the fact that her mother migrated from Lincolnshire to Nottinghamshire.
