Thomas Henry Oldfield Rodgers
« on: Thursday 29 March 18 09:04 BST (UK) »
I am trying to confirm the parents of Thomas Henry Oldfield Rodgers 1890 to 1967, born in Rawmarsh.

On my nans birth certificate it's states her name is Patricia Oldfield Rodgers also born in Rawmarsh. Her father is Thomas Henry Oldfield Rodgers born 1890 and I'm looking to confirm whether or not his parents were Thomas Oldfield (links to Staffordshire)  and Kate Rodgers (possibly born Toxteth).

I'm a bit confused now and sure I haven't got some facts correct.

GRO index indicates that his mother's maiden name was Holton.  Birth registered December quarter 1890 - Rotherham Registration District.


Added:  1939 Register says that he was born 27 September 1890

It looks as though the parents married at St Thomas Brightside, Sheffield in 1886.  His name was entered at the time as Thomas Henry Rodgers, but according to a FreeBMD postem it was amended in the parish register to Thomas Henry Oldfield years later, on 4 August 1930.

According to another postem the bride’s name was amended at the same time, from Kate Houlston to Catherine Holton.

Thanks for your help. I wonder what the significance of the name change is.
