GRO - what does this mean?

Did she have a sister Sarah b.1870? Mmn is Pollard for this birth and it appears to be in the same area.

If this is the case, could the mother have been previously married resulting in a different name being given to the registrar?

Oops! Crossed posts. Looks like she did.

I don't know for certain - but it looks likely!

Frances' siblings which her son knew about and told me about were Anne, Emma and Will.

Ancestry [again FWIW] links Hannah Linkhorn to Hannah Windsor b Salisbury, Wilts 1845. 

Have you found a link between the Linkhorns & Penfolds as to why the girls are nieces?

Anne may have been Sarah Ann...

Later records suggest Edmund & Hannah were married in about 1864/5.

Ooh, curious, and confusing!  I have just looked at other children on this census

Henry Penfold   14    born Petersfield 1857 MMN Pollard
Eleanor Penfold   11 
Edward Penfold   8
Emma Penfold   5
William Penfold   3  born Westbourne 1868 MMN Linkhorn ??
Sarah Ann Penfold   10 Months   born Droxford 1870 MMN Pollard

That's the marriage I was tying to find - Hannah Windsor marrying Edmund Linkhorn, but with no success.  How are they linked on Ancestry?  (Don't believe that would be on my tree...    )

I did find a marriage for Edmund Pollard Linkhorn in 1864 so maybe the Pollard is the link.

Food for thought.....

There is a marriage in Petersfield RD in 1844 with a Charles Linkhorn and a Jane Pollard on the same page.

My brain hurts!

This may be Edmund's birth reg
LINCKHORN, EDMUND       -     
GRO Reference: 1843  J Quarter in PETERSFIELD  Volume 07  Page 111
suggests MMN same as Edmund's surname.

Sorry not an actual link, just an ancestry suggestion that comes up on RH side...

Baptisms for Edith Hannah, Charles H, Margaret, William to Edmund Pollard Linkhorn & Hannah sadly undated on ancestry & no image, will try familysearch.

My brain hurts!
