Hi georgygirl. I had a similar experience trying to find the birth of my g grandad Sidney. He was Sidney on: His grave memorial my gran's birth certificate His wedding certificate 1901 census then he didn't exist! So, I traced his sister. He was christened Gifford!! Found him, his sister and 3 brothers on the 18891 census. 2 of his brothers had also changed names - from Sylvanus to Herbert, and Ivan to Frederick. Had to get all their birth certs to be sure - but the little blighters had changed names! So - have you found any siblings for your gt gt grandad? If so, look on familysearch for them!!

Hi Christine, thank you. It certainly does seem to be Mary Ann. I was searching for a family unit, but maybe this marriage wasn't a success, and they seperated. That possiably appears to be the case in this instance from your findings,as theres no record of them together.
Maggie- your ancesters sound more complicated than mine. I recently discovered a Sarah Jane Cadogan-no idea who she was
Agh-Shes Sarah Jane Lane, daughter of 2xGrandmas second marriage, but married in the name of Cadogan!!!
So i could have been searching the BMDs forever and not found her, thank goodness for Parish Records. Once again thanks for help
