Hi, The next step (for me) would be to try to get your Nan's birth certificate to see what it says there. Gwynne

Hiya Tonka Baz It could be that He worked somewhere and there was someone else with the same name, so that he assumed another christian name and it stuck, I think the best thing is to look at the birth certificate, then of course its quite interesting to follow through life to see at which point he changed his name
