Hi georgygirl.
I had a similar experience trying to find the birth of my g grandad Sidney.
He was Sidney on:
His grave memorial
my gran's birth certificate
His wedding certificate
1901 census
then he didn't exist!
So, I traced his sister.
He was christened Gifford!!
Found him, his sister and 3 brothers on the 18891 census.
2 of his brothers had also changed names - from Sylvanus to Herbert, and Ivan to Frederick.
Had to get all their birth certs to be sure - but the little blighters had changed names!
So - have you found any siblings for your gt gt grandad? If so, look on familysearch for them!!

Hi Christine, thank you.
It certainly does seem to be Mary Ann.
I was searching for a family unit, but maybe this marriage wasn't a success, and they seperated.
That possiably appears to be the case in this instance from your findings,as theres no record of them together.

Maggie- your ancesters sound more complicated than mine.
I recently discovered a Sarah Jane Cadogan-no idea who she was

Agh-Shes Sarah Jane Lane, daughter of 2xGrandmas second marriage, but married in the name of Cadogan!!!

So i could have been searching the BMDs forever and not found her, thank goodness for Parish Records.
Once again thanks for help

Jean
