Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / general help with surname!

« on: Tuesday 26 February 08 15:38 GMT (UK) »

I have obtained the birth certificate, for a Sidney "Missen"! as believed it could be the one i'm looking for..Dates and place are correct, needed to find parents names as unknown..These being Richard Missen and Elizabeth Bull.on b/cert.
HOWEVER

After searching 1901 census for them i have discovered original surname is listed as "Missing"? Unless there was another Richard, Elizabeth and Sidney family all born around the same time.!

Elizabeth Missing 45
Leonard Missing 8
Richard Missing 37
Sidney Missing 13

Fathers name (Richard) is signed with a mark (X) on birth cert, so obviously could not write or maybe even read at the time of registering Sidney.. Could name have been misspelt?
Sidney has appeared as Missin, and Missen on one or two lookups.. Have always know the spelling to be Missen, but having checked my mothers records her maiden name was spelt Missin and her sister who was born 12 years later is spelt Missen? No missing's though, so could this have been dropped to just Missin then become Missen.over the years.! It's all so confusing!!

Facts known and confirmed..
Married twice 1,Rosetta Hobbs 1911
Married - 2 Alice Mary mills 1925
Had a sister Elsie and a brother Jack that was known off, maybe more!
Wisbech has been suggested where he came from..birth cert I have is sub-district st Andrew the Less would this be right?
Maybe I have wrong birth cert for Sidney although as I have said dates are correct and nam espelt missen even fathers..! help!!!

Hi fairly new to all this, so not to sure if I am in the right place to ask this question...apologies if I'm not.!

I'm busy re-searching my mothers side of the family, I can go back to my grandparents, and great grandma as lived her late years in England and met her, but get stuck on "great granddad" as the family were Italian,He died b4 Gr grandma came to england
My mother and her Parents came over during the war, as my grandmother married an English soldier.but My Mother was actually born in Paris, her mother my grandmother was Italian and all before her..
How on earth do I trace this back, I have his name obviously and birth date where they lived and year he died, but no idea where to even start. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction i would very much appreciate it..

It's a great place, you have all been so helpfull thus far!!!!
