louis charles solomon had a sister josephine have no information for her also.

would be grateful for some help or any ideas please,thank you.

Hi,thanks4 looking at my post, i have no idea when he changed his name, or why he did it. x

I'm also a little confused.

What makes you think that he changed his name?

For example, whilst we can see the Solomon / Davies marriage and some possible offspring in the BMD's what do you have to connect the name of Whitworth?

These are possibles but age would be slightly out
