Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 37 Send Message	Its a really strange one. The only logical explanation is the m other remarried and some of the children used his name, I'll look into that. Thanks

	Umm they don't help then London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 about Christopher Schneider Name: Christopher Schneider Year: 1938 County or Borough: Tower Hamlets Ward or Division/Constituency: Poplar Street address: 186 [Street- On this electoral roll she is down as Ada

	I reckon she was Ada Hermitage born 1897 married William Dawton in 1913....maybe Denton was a mistranscription of Dawton.....or she was hiding something...maybe she was still married to William?? who seems to have disappeared after 1917 no death record for him that I can see William was in the army but was discharged in 1916... details of marriage are on his army pension papers two witnesses that look like May or Mary Hermitage and Ernest Dawton/Denton Ernest Dawton seems to be his brother...1891 census has the name transcribed as Danton....so it looks very possible it is her

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 37 Send Message	I like what you're saying, its a good theory but why would she use Hermitage on the birth registration of her children and Denton on her marriage certificate. It certainly one big mystery.

	Because they did......People got confused or tried cover things up...like previous marriages...if she said her name was Denton/Dawton spinster....then when giving fathers name they would automatically think his surname was Denton/Dawton...unless she said otherwise Who registered the birth of the child was it the mother?

	When a child's birth was reg. there wouldn't be any ref to what names were on the parents marriage cert so she was safe giving her maiden name of Hermitage It really looks like she had been previously married and then some covering up was done
