mother, of clarence george chittleburgh

[cockneylass]

Please can anyone find any information on Clarence George Chittleburgh Born 1897 Wangford Suffolk. On his WW1 medal record he has changed his surname to May, the record was changed in 1921. On his marriage bans july 1918 he crossed the surname chittleburgh for May.
his marriage cert gives his Father as Ernest may.
In 1972 he was called George May & he won the Macdougall award  it was to do with poultry.

Thank You.

Hi, here's my theory.

Marriages Mar 1892 Wangford 4a    1031
Chittleburgh    Charles William           
HONEYWOOD    Eliza (on same page)

Charles died or they divorced and Eliza(beth) remarried to Ernest May

Marriages Mar 1903  Islington 1b    453
Chittleburgh Elizabeth
May    Ernest (on same page)

What was Ernest May's occupation on Clarence's marriage cert?

Not sure the 1892 marriage of Charles Chittleburgh ito Eliza related to Clarence - Charles (who is William and Annie's son, b G Yarmouth 1862) is alive and well and living with wife Eliza in 1911.

I wonder if Clarence's mother is Charles' younger sister Elizabeth (b c1877) and she then marries Ernest May after Clarence is born

[KGarrad]

After 1875 (I think!) a putative father named on a birth certificate had to be present at the birth registration, and give his permission.

Mabel, I think you're right, I didn't check for Charles & Eliza in later census  (that's what happens when you try to do genealogy and cook at the same time  )
