Who is Frank Daykin Holbrook

[heywood]

Thanks for that Spidermonkey
- I was just looking for a death (earlier rather than later) wondering if that was why he wasn't known in the family.

If you google "Daykin Houlbrook" several hits come up for those names hyphenated, I think there is at least one address shown as well - could be worth a speculative letter?

Hi all

thank you for all the ideas and info - as i have just ordered birth certs for grandfather - alfred daykin and g grandfather - herbert daykin - ( i have the GRO refs for them both luckily) and am hesitant to order the births certs for both frank daykin and frank daykin houlbrook as they may be 2 different people, does anyone know of any other way i may be able to find out who the parents were of both franks - suggestions 

on another note (as i have been checking earlier census records for my daykin family) i wonder sometimes about the relationships that are listed in these earlier census records, in particular when children aged under 10 are listed as son or daughter in law to the head of the household - it sure gets very confusing - but i am not one to give up easily

Hi,

Frank Daykin and Frank Daykin Houlbrook have the same reference details; there's a good chance they are the same person.

Yes I agree with Nanny Jan and was just looking up the entries- two separate ones with same reference. I wonder why? Perhaps both parents wanted him registering with their name 

Don't give up ronlynn! Usually young children described as 'in laws' are step children - you probably worked that out 
Maybe then there were others who could be the parent of young Frank. If you could, though, I think the certificate would be very useful - if only to please us 
good luck

Hi,

I would go for Frank Daykin Houlbrook as that is the name on the census; fingers crossed it will solved the mystery for you..........or give you more doors to open!

Frank Daykin and Frank Daykin Houlbrook have the same reference details; there's a good chance they are the same person.

My thoughts exactly.
Often if a child is born to unmarried parents, and both parents are on the birth cert, you find the child indexed under both surnames.
This is because the index is compiled using the parents surname as the childs surname isn't on the birth cert. Thus is two surnames are on the cert (ie un married parents) then the index listing is under two surnames also.

thanks for the explanation - I thought it would be something similar but was unsure.
Ronlynn, if you ever get the certificate - please post and let us know the result.

best wishes
