Nichols George Peterbro' 3b 215

His birth may not have been registered as there were no penalties (for not registering) at the time of his birth

And unless you buy both the George and George C certificates you will have no way of knowing which is his.

He may have been known as George Courtney, but that does not mean that was the name he was registered as.

I think we all have family members who have 'acquired' middle names when growing up.

I worked with a bloke whose great aunt promised to leave him everything, providing he changed his name by deed poll to include her surname as a middle name. Which he duly did. She died and left him nothing. Oh did we all laugh (behind his back) for being so gullible and greedy! ;-)
