I know we are all aware of the errors in parish records and bmd certs.
But this is great! I found a book in the Soc of Genealogists library called "Monumental Inscriptions in Lympanhoe churchyard" published in 1964. One of the inscriptions was for "Hannah Rebecca, wife of Robert Gray".
Robert Gray was my 2x gt uncle. Now I know that his wife was Anna Rebecca, that's how she is recorded in her baptism, marriage and on censuses, occasionally down as Ann, but never ever Hannah.
My Mum recently found a piece of card in which she had written inscriptions for Limpenhoe churchyard (never found any other reference to it as Lympanhoe).
Well yesterday I went to Limpenhoe and found the grave for myself and it very clearly says ANNA REBECCA.
