I have my grandfather's birth certificate and it lists his father as George Albert Raymond and mother as Emma Mary Ann Raymond, formerly Frost - 1910.

So I tracked back and found the marriage of George Albert Raymond and Emma Frost in 1898.

Problem is - on the birth certificate it looks like Emma Mary Ann - and on the marriage certificate it looks like Emma Helena.

I can't find them on the 1901 census.

Thanks

Actually it might well say Emma Selina. I think I had read it as Emma Helena.

The area is Islington.

So do you think they are two completely different people?

Allison Report 14 Oct 2008 21:49

So if my grandfather's mother was called Emma Mary Ann Frost - do I have the wrong marriage certificate?

Allison

Allison Report 14 Oct 2008 21:56

On marriage certificate it is carpet layer -and on birth certificate it is carpet planner. Surely too much of a coincidence?

there is a bit of an age gap between the census and the marraige cert

Allison

Allison Report 14 Oct 2008 22:16

Am I trying to be too accurate? If he was 20 at the time of his marriage in 1898, wouldn't have have been born in 1878, not 1873. (I am still pretty new at this)

It sounds like I will never really know why this person has 2 different middle names, but at least I have a first name.

Very much appreciate your time and interest

I have had a good look round and have not found an Emma Selina Frost even had a look at the marraige reg scan but its a typed version , i can only say that i think who ever typed from the original scan may of mistranscibed it and i think the one above is the correct one.

good luck

tracy

Allison Report 15 Oct 2008 18:54

I think you must be right - just seemed so odd to get such a different name on the two certificates. I am going with the Emma Mary Ann and really appreciate all that work.
Thanks
