A couple of my ancestors cannot seem to decide what their names are which makes it interesting trying to research them. One of my ancestors was called Henry and he had no middle name but he likes to use Harry(understandable) and John Henry? my second was called James and again no middle name and he likes using John. |

Happens all the time. You can get Henry/Harry, John/Jack, Ellen/Helen etc. |

Thank you for replying. Henry used John Henry when he married, Harry on his sons birth cert and Henry on the census. However i'm sure i will track all the records for him now I know the different possibilities he might use. |

Hi I had an uncle (sadly never met him as he had passed away before I arrived) that was referred to as Frank but his name was Bernard Francis so the Francis became Frank, it wasn't until I started my tree I even realised his name was something other than Frank |

I had a great uncle called Jack but his real name was John. Further up my tree I have a Henry William who also called himself John! |

My husband's great grandma was Annie Eliza or Annie or Anne or Eliza, depending on what mood she was in! |
