I tried to confirm my great grandparents names on my fathers side but have hit a problem?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Before I looked I had the following facts.
1. My grandfather (Samuel Iles) was a twin born prob around 1915 to 1925 in early January.
2. His Twin was called John Iles
3. Samuel Iles married Thelma Farrell before 1944
4. Samuel and Jack will have been born in the south west - prob bristol or weston-super-mare
5. Samuel was one of many brothers and sisters.
I found a matching marriage certificate for Oct 1943 between Samuel Iles and Themla Farell in Bristol.
On the marriage certificate the fathers name is shown as GEORGE ILES
Also on the marriage certificate is a witness called MINNIE ILES.
A search of the records shows a marriage between George and Minnie (Godfrey) for 1916.
Great I thought that's all sorted !
I then did a search for the birth certificate of Samuel, it was easy to find as he was a twin and I knew his age from the marriage certificate. - Born 5th Jan 1925.
When the birth record arrived it showed the father as WILLIAM ROBERT ILES and the mother as FLORANCE EMILY ILES (BAKER).
A search of the records showed they were married in 1905.
So I know I have the correct marriage and birth certificate for Samuel - but the parents name on each of them are different.
Any idea's what I am missing?
