Im hoping someone can shed some light on a brick wall I seem to have hit.

My great great grandmother was ALICE BOND born 14.9.1864 in Wellar,Notts. On her birth certificate her father is named as JOHN HAYWOOD BOND and mother ELLEN JOHNSON. Yet on her marriage certificate to THOMAS HEAD in 1884 her father is listed as ROBERT BOND.
On all the census returns Alices father is listed as Robert born 1837 Fleet, Lincolnshire.

The only baptism of an Alice at Wellow is the following
9 Oct 1864 Alice dau of John Hopwood ROSE and Ellen abode Wellow father a machine worker

Thanks Larkspur. That first query has now been resolved, my new post was linked to the old one but is about Alices mother Eleanor/Lenora/Ellen. Im hoping someone can shed some light on her maiden name.

Thanks all for reading!

Im thinking Eleanors maiden name is Nevins or Nevens as my great grandfather (her grandson) was named Thomas Edward Nevens Head but Im struggling to find an Eleanor Nevins  born in Newcastle around 1834-1839 and any census records thereafter. The first census I have her on is the 1871 where she is now Ellen Bond.

I think this would be a good contender, but I am also having trouble finding her as a child.

Helen NEVANS
Christening Date:   13 May 1839
Christening Place:    Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England
Father's Name:    John NEVANS
Mother's Name:    Mary

If you do a catalogue search for that film number you will find that it was a Catholic baptism:

Some of Ellen's children's birth regs have already been discussed, I think this is a full list...

1862  Mary Hannah Bond HAYWOOD  (mmn JOHNSON)
1864  Alice BOND (mmn JOHNSON)
1867  May BOND (mmn EVANS)
1871  Thomas William BOND (mmn NEVANS)
1874  Lilly BOND  (mmn NEVINS)
1878  Rose BOND  (mmn NEVINS)
1881  Robert Edward BOND  (mmn NEVINS)

Perhaps her mother had remarried to a JOHNSON?

Thanks Dundee, I hadnt considered Helen as a variation of Eleanor/Ellen etc so I will look into this  :)
