When you see such strange names......always try to work out what they really should be.

Looking for BMD info is the best way to check.....................as Registrars and Vicars were probably better than census enumerators with regard to literacy skills

thankyou again everyone for helping, it hadn't occured to me to try a similar sounding name so i will see how i get on now.

Elaine - what was your Ephraim's mother's maiden name?

Perhaps that Oz death is a connection?
