Sorry PricklyHolly, I haven't got a sub to see the whole record, that's just a snippet from familysearch. I have no idea who Amy is living with.

Isn't it annoying how there is ALWAYS someone with the same name :-S

Confused

1911 has George Bright b1890

Both born Wandsworth so are they the same person ?

Hi GlitterBaby

I think this is William's birth reg........


Births Dec 1889 (>99%)
Bright William Henry G Wandsworth 1d 668

So you are probably right, in that he appears as William H on the 1891 census and George on the 1911.

Looking at the baptism records is not a lot of help as the family seem to have moved around quite a bit
