Marmalady, I am starting to suspect that the "illegitimate ... and used both his mother's name and his father's name" might be the answer I'll have to settle for with one line -
I find him at birth, with Father's name and mother ( formerly ... ) on certificate, and he re-appears early 20th c, with same name, date and birthplace, but no way can I find him in 1871, 1881 or even ( shortly after he married) in 1891!
His eldest son, born 1890 seems to have used both surnames when his banns were called in 1915 - either that or two men with the same first name set out to marry the same woman in the same place at the same time ... and I don't think they did! After that, they seem to have settled to use one surname ... although the eldest son of that marriage bore mother's surname for quite some time as he'd actually been born before the marriage!
I can put the 1891 absence down to being a miner, following work, but really think I now should hunt for him under mother's surname again. Mind you, I've not in the past been able to find anyone likely that was.....
-Do you think our ancestors did it just to annoy us?

There's a Thomas G Anderson b 1879, sheet metal worker, with wife Mary Jane (1879) in 1911, but he's at 25 Altcar Lance Bootle in 1911, but as far as I can see looking up and down the years, this Thomas George Anderson doesn't seem to have a Millicent....

Doesn't it just prove that people on this site, working together, can do and find ( almost) anything and anyone? (Just wish I could find a way through my brick walls, all three of them).
You will have a lovely tale to tell at your U3A group, let us all know what the response was, won't you?

It looks vaguely to me as if it's from Punto della Dogano, in front to the "Salute" church, or possibly from San Georgio, a little further over on the basin of St Marks, looking towards the piazetta and the campanile of St Marks. Can't get anywhere on identifying it - it probably will be by an amateur, but does that matter? Enjoy it.
