I am searching for a birth record for my grandfather James, problem is I don't know which last name he had at birth. His mother was Emma and he was born in May (narrowed down by his service records) 1888 in castleford. His mother at one point was with George Lilliman and then Thomas Davies. On his military records he is listed as James Powell and on his marriage certificate it's James Davies Powell.....quite a mystery. I have ordered Emma's marriage certificate to Thomas Davies in 1894 but have not received it yet. I am hoping it will give her maiden name. This has been a very perplexing mystery for me and any help would be much appreciated.
