Hi
My Husbands Greatgrandmother was at the Top of the Class for telling porkies.
Hurdle No1
On Husband`s Grandfather`s Birth cert he was given a fictitious Father & Mum used her Own Mother`s identity when registering him.
Hurdle No2
When Greatgranmother married 2 years later she used a mixture of her Mother`s dead husband name & her Fathers name.
After a lot of help from a clever member on the BBC Family History ,the Truth was finally found & buying Certs to clarify everything.
It was SO complicated.
Back in March,a member on the Sussex was trying to help a person find his Greatgrandmother.It was the sister of above Greatgrandmother,using same surname & father a Marriage cert,more porkies.
I sent a PM.I was put in touch with the person ,the rest in history.
I hope you can you problem sorted out.
Kind Regards
