She may not have liked the name Gertrude and always called herself Amy ??

Perhaps she preferred Amy to Gertrude, I have an Aunt who hates her first name Phyllis and has used her middle name Mary her whole life. Most people don't know her first name, in fact I only found out when I started this tree business.

THATS WHAT I SAID TO MY SISTER BUT SHE SAID THATMY NAN HASNT HEARD OF THE NAME GERTRUDE EVER BEIN MENTIONED SO IM NOT SURE BUT IT COULD BE A MAYBE

I DONT HAVE HIS DEATH DERT BUT IV LOOKED IT UP IN THE DEATHS AND IT SAYS BIRTH,DATE, DEATH DATE, DISTRICT BUT I KNOW ALL OF THAT ANYWAY

Another twist:

Births Mar 1901 Bromyard 6a 519

Parker Gertrude Amy

Perhaps the Amy your Nan remembers.

Do you have the death cert? - If so, what details does it give?

YES DAVID THATS THE ONE THATS MY GRANDFATHER

For info:

Name: Edmund Gibbs
Birth Date: 10 Mar 1920
Death Registration Month/Year: Jan 1995
Age at death (estimated): 74
Registration district: Wolverhampton
Inferred County: West Midlands
Register number: A46A
Entry Number: 277

I KNOW THAT HE WAS BORN IN 1920 THAT IS DEFFINATE, AND ITS ALSO ON HIS DEATH CERT, BUT THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS BORN IM JUST GOING ON THE BIRTH CERT COZ ITS WHERE IT SAYS WHERE AND WHEN HE WAS BORN AND YES HE DID HAVE A BROTHER CALLED LEONARD MY NAN SAID AND ALSO MY MUM SAID AND THEY ALSO WROTE TO LENOARD WHEN MY GRANDFATHER DIED

Now!!

Do you KNOW that he was born on that date at that address or are you just taking this from the birth cert that you have??

Did he have a brother called Leonard born in 1921?

I DONT THINK SO OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT A 30 YEAR AGE GAP, ON HIS BIRTH CERT IT SAID THAT MARY WAS HIS MUM

Could "AMY" have been your Grandad's older sister?

Or another scenario (which I have on my tree), was AMY his Mum, but his birth was registered by her parents.

my grandfather was EDMUND GIBBS he was born 10TH MARCH 1920 he died 6TH JAN 1995 that is it, but i was told his mum was named AMY but i'v just found out it's not and it's MARY JANE

O.K. - Let's start at the beginning ! - Which one was your grandfather and what do you know for certain about him?

SAM
don't know when they were married, at 1st given wrong details, so did an utter wrong tree, according to my nan her knowledge was that my grnadfathers mum was called AMY so when i got his birth cert his mother was caleed MARY JANE PARKER but married a GIBBS but my nan said she met her twice and she called her AMY and even my grandfather called her AMY sometimes instead of mum. When my grandfather was born he was born in UPPER COTTAGES, MORETON JEFFRIES , HEREFORDSHIRE but MARY according to the 1901 census she was born in PENCOMBE
