Help, I have conflicting info on Great grandfather

[Danison]

Have you seen this entry in the Gro index?

Smith Frank July - Sept 1874 Nottingham RD mmn Gamble


Hi Millmoor,
Would his birth on GRO be listed as Frank Smith, if later documents have his name as Francis Henry Smith?

I think this is partly where the problem lies.  Was his name always Francis Henry but known as Frank or was he in fact Frank?

I see that he appears on the 1939 as Frank.

Hopefully the marriage certificate will shed some light on this with his father's name and occupation.
