It won't be his signature as the copies supplied by the GRO are transcriptions.

The handwriting in every box should be the same.

Ahhh ok thank you, it is!! That's why I was wondering about whether he was there!!

Now there's the mystery of whether the whole family was there!!

They could have been in London - Barnett's older brother Harry signs up in Sept 1914 and says he has been in Britain for 13 years

Thanks I have Harry's service records but don't recall seeing he said he had been in Britain for 13 years (just wondering where you found that, thank you!!).

From Harry's naturalisation record (1919), he says that he has only lived in Pontlottyn in Wales for the 17 years he's been in the country... So I'm wondering whether the whole family went to London, although that is what the certificate suggests...

The versions I can see on Ancestry have this written in as part of his birth information on the front page

Hi Martha

Out of interest what was the mother's maiden name on the PDF you received?

It was Fechman, the transcription was obviously correct in this case!

[Rosinish]

MMN seems a good match.  Wonder if the 'Isee' shouldn't be there in the new index .... I see Fichman?!

Sounds like it may have be transcribed from a dictaphone?

OR Someone else reading it out while other was transcribing?
