hi,
i'm abit puzzled by my 2nd great grandfather robert (simpson) lackey. i had hoped his will would shed some light but no it doesnt.
his death cert has a middle name on it - the date, informant (was my great grandfather), location etc all link to the correct person and my family. however this middle name is a mystery. It's not on his marriage cert, nor the children's birth certs, baptisms or marriages or any census records, newspaper articles, the church he was invovled with or his headstone. It is not a name known to his siblings or children. Nor is it in his will.
why would an extra name be added at death? is it a common thing to happen? i've not come across it before.
