Just remember that people seldom knew how their names were written.

The enumerator wrote what he heard

once again many thanks to all of you for your help.
I am beginning to think that Jacqueline has hit the nail on the head when she refers to the name 'Lound' - this would explain why i havent been able to trace the 'Lund' tree. I will now have to somemore research in that direction
Continuing thanks for you help.

Buy a copy of his marriage cert.......if he knew his father, the name will be on it. Unless he invented one, of course.

If he was illegitimate, he may well have done so

If your grandfather was Frederick Albert born 1884 or 1906 then someone has made a mistake in calculations. There are 6 living children listed here.

Thanks to you all for your replies, especially Cynthia who has tried to help me find my way around this confusing site.
Joseph Lund was a well known Durham City Alderman and was chairman of the bench of magistrates until his death in 1947. He was also chairman of the Poor Law Institute. He married Frances Annie Lax who was borrn in 1862. One of his sons Frederick Albert Lund was my grandfather.
I have not been able to trace the origins of Joseph Lund - there are conflicting notes in census materialas to where he was born i.e. 'Durham' 'Framwellgate Moor' and 'Relly'. The lengthy obituary in the Durham County Advertiser of the day states he was born in Thornley. This one is really a mystery - I cant find any trace of him beyond the info in the census. Any further info would be appreciated.
Best Wishes, Brian Lund
