1901 census help!!!!

A big thank you MargP and Heywood 
Think you both have solved that problem so he was in the army under the name Thorley.
George has so far confused me with his surname changing, so after 1905 he stayed Heywood
I am now beginning to wonder who his dad is    is it Thomas Heywood as stated on his marriage certs or Thomas Thorley   
 But to make it more confusing on his birth cert he has no fathers name.

Hi Lanei

In the British Postal App Books

 1912, George is registered twice under both names of Thorley and Heywood

He was still using both names in 1912

[MargP]

Can you give us details of the birth certificate for George

[lanei]

13th march 1881
28 Brentnall st  Stockport

Name -  George

Mother- Harriet Heywood
                     a
              charwoman,

[heywood]

It looks highly likely that Thomas Thorley would be the father but as Harriet was officially Mrs Heywood, she may not have included his name. However, we will never know, I suppose!

Perhaps they had to wait to marry until either Mr Heywood or Mrs Thorley (if there was one) died.

Thomas Thorley was married before as on Harriet and Thomas marriage cert he was a widower and what I don't get Harriet was down as a spinster. and was using her maiden name of Booth.


On both of George's marriage certs his father was Thomas Heywood a salt boiler.
where as Thomas Thorley was a shoemaker.

[heywood]

Is that Thomas Heywood in 1881   3538/ 54/ 46, I wonder.

The Commons, Sandbach

Thomas Heywood, 32 yrs married Saltboiler b Sandbach

with a boarder Elizabeth ?? 32 yrs born Leeds.

  I have come across this one and was thinking it was him,
  It's really hard when you know nothing about them.

[heywood]

He certainly looks good.

However, as he is not named on the birth certificate and not living with Harriet, it looks likely that he is not George's father.
It may well be that he is named as father because George wanted to be true to his birth name.
It's seems to be just one of those things  - nothing can be proved.
