There are actually a few Britton/Garland births in Keynsham but will mention this one just in case she is the marriage witness.

Elsie May Britton born Mar 1904

There's an Elsie Britton/George Hawkins marriage in 1923 Keynsham.

This Elsie gives her father's name as George, a shoemaker, when she married George HAWKINS on 3 March 1923 at Downend, Gloucester..

This Elsie is in Kinsgwood, Gloucester in 1911 aged 7 with parents George and Florence. George was a shoemaker and Florence's mn GARLAND. Other siblings Herbert 9, Ethel 5 and Ellis 3. They are all given as being born in Kingswood.

This family appears in a few trees on Ancestry.

Was Ethel's brother's name put on her marriage instead of her father's, or perhaps her father was called George but known as Herbert.

According to the FreeBMD info Kingswood in Gloucestershire was part of the Keynsham registration district.
