Great news, thanks for letting us know  :D  They were certainly a complicated bunch!

John Thomas Puggmur, 1888, mothers maiden Keeper, but Jane Hannah Puggmur birth, Dec qtr 1890 has mothers maiden name Jackson

Looks like whoever transcribed the mother's maiden name at the GRO has used the last work of her occupation of House Keeper instead  ::)  Might be worth reporting it as an error so they can correct it.

Good thinking! I will let GRO know what I’ve found. I noticed that registrar was the same that registered both Daniel Jackson (b1878) and John Thomas Puggmur (b1888) however registrar was different that registered Jane Hannah (b1890) hence why they may have lied about being married on Jane Hannah’s BC. It’s first time I’ve come across a BC that had a father on when the parents weren’t married  :)
