Hi Kath,

Yes your right & sorry it has taken a little while to reply, l have been to the library to look at the parish records, l have the marriage of William Atkins to Jane Davison in October 1861 in staple, Williams fathers surname being William Atkins, l will need to go back to see if l can read the banns for any addresses. l also stumbled across the marriage of Mary Jane Atkins in May of 1893, which was their daughter, Mary's has gone to sign and put Mary Jane Fass Atkins, but crossed out the Fass part, its still a mystery as to why the name change, l still have no idea.

Thank you perth tiger, garstonite, winston, carol8353, andycand & Galium. I have taken on board all that you have written and found it very useful, I think personally that the person who ordered the certificate ordered the wrong reference numbers. On the Tilmanstone parish records of the census 1851 there is a family of Fulssom of Three Colts, Upper Street which I am sure is Eliza's father, I will need to get information from the parish records: there are a few William Fassoms in Kent which makes it more difficult to trace.

Once again thank you, if you have any information how to get the parish records of Woodnesborough, Eastry & Tilmanstone, I would be grateful as the Ancestry sites have not got much on these villages and there are a lot of surname variants.

Thanks
Maz

Thank you perth tiger.
I have both certificates, the marriage  is an original, but the birth is a certified copy dated 27 August 1947. I was given them by my Auntie after my Nan passed as I had started the family tree. I'm wondering if the register office have got it wrong on the copy. Maz

Hello all, My Great Great Grandmother was born in Woodnesborough, Summerfields, Kent: on 16th June 1881: her name being Eliza: on her birth certificate it states that her Father was William Attkins, Her Mother as Jane Attkins formerly Davidson. The reason l am a little stuck is that on her marriage certificate it states that she was a spinster and married Frederick James Burden on the 1st November 1913, as Eliza Fasoms. The only other information I have is that she was still living at Summerfields Woodnesborough on the day of her marriage, on the 1871 census the family name was Fassoms and in 1891 Eliza was named as a Fassom. Hoping someone can help solve this puzzle please. Maz
