Presumably his mother was unmarried? Could she have married and he took his step fathers surname?

jo lo, it would help if you can be a bit more specific about what you are trying to find out, and why. Members can be a bit cautious when it comes to giving out info relating to living people (assuming you don't have evidence he has died?).

Jo Jo, when you say under your fathers, do you mean he was the next Coulstock birth?? Is this your father?

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Mar 1945 (>99%)

Coulstock Basil D Coulstock Wetherby 9a 129

If it is, I don't see any connection, just the fact that Frederick was registered in the same quarter in a different registration district.

Hi, so your father was born in Croydon and his parents were Mr Coulstock who married Miss Herbert.

The 1945 Frederick has the surname Coulstock and his mothers maiden name was Coulstock, most probably unmarried.

There would probably be no connection, just another birth registered. If you just put in John Smith in the same quarter there would probably be lots, but no connection.

Yes my father was born in Crydon, Smith is a very common name, Coulstock is not, which is why i wondered if there was a connection. Oh well, thankyou for helping me though :)

Maybe your fathers cousin? as mothers name is also Coulstock. There were a many unmarried mothers at that time, due to war and the Americans coming over, and there where a lot of US bases around that area

As the birth was over 50 years ago, you ought to be able to order a copy of the certificate from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

You could then trace the mother back to her birth and see if you can link up the two families. If, as has been suggested, Frederick's mother wasn't married, she might have been sent out of area to give birth.

I think connected some how as Coulstock surname not common and most that i have come across are related, one way or another. My dads mum was married, then unmarried and then married the same man again when he came back from war, very complicated.
