I'm searching for a friend and have little info. I have gone through 4 pages on 1901 census and have found one occupation match, should I continue to search or is this enough to be reasonably sure I'm on the right trail? |

You should start with the 1902 birth cert. and/or find them in the 1911 census. |

The trouble is he could have added those names for his marriage cert and not actually been given them at birth. |

Hi David, thanks, I do think they need to get the birth certificate, but there is only one that is close on free bmd. But the year is Sept q 1903 a year later. This reg has only the first christian name though. |

Hi Linda, thanks very much for that. I did wonder if it was possible the name could have been reversed, but it never occured to me they might have been added later, especially on a marriage cert. |

Hi David, Brilliant, why didn't I think of that. They know absolutely nothing about him apart from him marrying and at the first sight of a child on the way he ran off and was never heard of again. So that's a great help. |

The extra names might not have been added willy nilly for the marriage ceremony |

Sylvia is mostly right - names are mostly not changed. |
