I think the information was Nina Naomi King (nee Cooper) had a father named Frederick Cooper and Nina's mother's maidan name was Naomi Finch?   Does that make more sense?   Thanks   Colleen

Frederick KING married Naomi COOPER
They had Nina Naomi KING
Who had an illegitimate daughter Rachel KING

Everyone is KING,  when Nina Naomi  married in Canada, she changed the surnames of her parent’s around, and invented a husband Henry.

That’s how I am interpreting Dundee & Maddy’s good finds anyway.

I expect FINCH might turn up somewhere else in the family for her to pick that name

Thanks mckha, yes that's my understanding. A few fibs on the marriage certificate re names and age. Though enough facts that match up so that I'm pretty certain the information found to date is correct.

Still trying to find Nina Naomi in 1911 (it may possibly lead to a father of her child Rachel, maybe). I see at 8 Acacia Rd Acton (the address on Nina Naomi's baptism in 1912) there is a family of William Henry WILLIAMS (58, medical practitioner). No servants or Nina Naomi.

At 6 Acacia Rd, Acton (as I couldn't quite be sure of the baptism address) there is a family of Katie Josephine KEPPIE (40, widow, Canada), and a few servants and vistors (some German). Whilst Nina Naomi is not there for the census, I wonder if this is the address on the baptism. The Canada connection seems interesting too.  :-\

Modified to add:
Just looked again at the baptism entry, I think it is "8 Acacia Rd"

Here's the baptism entry, I included the date of birth as it shows another "8".

I agree. An “8”

Purely speculation here - Dr William Henry WILLIAMS' wife Louisa Blanche of 8 Acacia Rd, Acton died on 18 April 1912. Perhaps he then employed Nina Naomi KING to help look after his youngest son who was 14, as she was a "children's maid" on the 1901 census. Or maybe just as servant. This puts her in the right place to be baptised on 24 Nov 1912.

And more speculation…in 1921 Nina Naomi and Rachel are in Seaborough Court, Crewkerne, Dorset.
The Williams family of 8 Acacia Road are from Sherborne, Dorset. 
I can’t help wondering if Nina Naomi was passed on, as it were, from one family to another. (As a domestic servant in various capacities)

Still trying to find Nina Naomi in 1911

Naomi (?) King, 34, born Forest Hill, London, is in Shere, Surrey, in 1911.
Servant to Somerset Beaumont.
Transcribed Nanni King on ancestry. To be honest, that's what it looks like to me!
