I’m intrigued (and a little confused) by your comment Rose, can you tell me more about that please? Please would PM me?

Thanks

I'd be inclined to think it was the 1962 birth. The only marriage under that name isn't for the correct Denise as she has a different birth year.

Elizabeth yes OK, that was my second thought.. but the name change [on the 1944 birth reg.] is to Astin from Aston. So AstOn is a bit of red herring.. maybe!

Yes this could be a different trail altogether.. with similar names.
Will do a search again for records on here..

There is a possible marriage for that birth in Bilston in 1965

Think Shirley is saying the birth you found in 1944 Bilston, could be the Daughter from the Aston / Clayton Marriage in 1944

Shirley Thanks - but no that is not the marriage. There wasn’t a marriage between them. (Confusing as 1944 is the birth date not mrg date.) Interesting the Aston link.

Notes on the bmd site do indicate there has been additions to the original cert. that’s why it’s listed 3x. I will probably get the altered cert as it will contain the original info regd. as well.

Marriages Sep 1944

Can't see there was any additions to that 1944 birth. Nothing is cross referenced to it on the record

The dif in spelling of Astin is just that ,maybe a typing error

It won't affect the cert as it's best to order it in the surname of Clayton anyway

Have had a better look and the 3 index records noted do relate to one 1944 registration. There looks to have been a late change or addition to it.

Anji Report 26 Oct 2018 17:44

Yes I am but confused with the possibilities thrown up.. i think it’s worth getting two certs to see tho! 1944 and 1962.. thanks for your help. :-)

Are you searching on freebmd site....so easy to use.?

That is where many of us look for information to help.

Anji Report 26 Oct 2018 17:35

Yes Gwyn I have searched the tree all records here and came up with nothing, but will try again with all the possibles... and yes that is what is confusing me and Joan is a similar name to Jean too!

Anji Report 26 Oct 2018 17:34

Yes Kath they did divorce. (The 1st marriage.)

3 of those Jean certs. probably belong to the same person, but are just indexed in different ways.

One of the index names possibly is on someone's tree on this site.
Have you searched names using Search all members trees...to top right of your screen?

Thanks for all your help everyone, getting excited about picking through this trail again. So she could be possibly 74 years old now bless her.
I did not know about that adoption register thing Kath. Well I did but I think the info on this has changed since I last looked. So thanks for that!
When I tried to access adoption info, before you had to be a child or parent directly involved in the adoption.

Will send the details of that birth in a private message as this person may still be alive.

Did your aunt's first husband die or were they divorced? Just wondered if you knew when the first marriage was over.

Had a look at Gwyn's suggestion about a child born with surname Fieldhouse, mother's maiden name Clayton in 1962 in Wolverhampton. Could your aunt have had a baby with someone else either after her first marriage or during that marriage (could be a reason for a divorce if she actually did divorce).

3 records for a Jean A - so A could be Aston or Astin as middle name.. as the tradition of including unmarried fathers surname as the middle name.

There is also a Joan born to Clayton mom as well. I think this is why I didn’t order any certs so far..

There was a daughter born to someone with your aunt's 1st married name, who has the correct mother's maiden name.

I don't see another marriage for a couple with those names in the right time frame......

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 26 Oct 2018 17:11

I would order the certificate in the name of Clayton just to see if the mother's name matches the name of your aunt.

If the baby was adopted then the name won't be the same now anyway.

You could add your name to the Adoption Contact Register just in case this baby decides to look for her birth family and registers herself.
