Bit of a tricky one this one. My aunt Doreen Swift who recently died was born in Torquay (I guess) 19 May 1928. When she married Edward Harty in the 1940's her maiden name was Clements or Bone on the record. Is there a birth record with either of these names matching that birth date. Apparently she was taken away to an orphage after her birth. There has also been the surname Mills mentioned and I dont know if she was married to a Mills at one time or that was her real mothers surname. Any help ideas, much appreciated

Not sure what you mean when you say "her name was either Clements or Bone on the record".
Do you have the marriage cert? What does it show and what date & where did she marry Edward?

She mrried Edward Harty in Torquay in 1949. The record not the certificate says her surname was clements or bone.

Was she married to a Clements before?

Linda in the Midlands Report 6 Feb 2010 16:32

she would have been known by both names, maybe born Bone and then changed to Clements if she was adopted from the orphange or brought up by someone else

That's along the lines I was thinking. Are there any other Bone chidren with the same mothers maiden name?

Julie

I see there are loads of Bone births with Doreen , last but one. Perhaps we might be going along the wrong line!

I find it very strange that you don't/ won't look for this yourself...all of this you could have done

My cousin thought her name was birth name was Mills. That's why I had been going down the wrong avenue with my research Julie. Thank you all for your help.

Yes but we haven't found anything that you couldn't have just cos we have found it doesn't make it correct...you'll need the certs to know that
