So do we have a situation where these are all the same people, with names being changed?

Charlotte Fanny becomes the more Jewish-sounding Hannah (did she convert to Judaism?)
Winifred b 1903 becomes Adelaide - after Morton’s mother
Gladys b 1905 becomes Esther/Hester - after Morton’s sister

A bit more help please.
Adelaide Britton married Archibald Victor Otway. 25 Dec 1924 • Shoreditch, London.
They don't appear to have had any children, well I can't find any. Perhaps because Archibald was a sailor and away at sea, he last served on Vivid I, Aug 1928, he died Mar 1968 • Yarmouth, Norfolk.
He was born in Norfolk so I would assume that he and Adelaide lived there but I am probably wrong.
Looking for children. Thanks.

Can you find them on the 1939 register?  That might indicate if they had children but bear in mind those children could still be living if born after 1924 so we cannot name them  :)

Did this Archibald remarry in Liskeard to Winifred R C Luby or Luly (indexed both in Jun qtr 1941 and Dec qtr 1942 - not sure what’s going on there)?

Hi avm228, I'm not sure of any thing with this lot with all the name changes. All I know about Archibald is that it seems that he was still in the navy up to at least 1940 when he got a long service award. Nearly all his family were and still are in Norfolk, I can't see him having any time to re marry as it looks like he was at sea most of his life.
