  • Unexpected Mother's Maiden Name on GRO

    Samuel Charles Roger de Coverly married Emma Holmes in 1861
    https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Coverly-109

    Keeping in mind that Coverly may have alternate spellings (Coverly, Coverley, Caverly, Caverley) and sometimes this family use "de" in front of their surname, here are births that I think are theirs

    DE COVERLY, CHARLES JOSEPH

    COVERLY, - <male>

    ​But.
    In one of the censuses, daughter Elizabeth appears. This is the only registration that seems to match her
    DE COVERLY, ELIZABETH EMMA
    MARSHALL

    Everything except MMN would make me think this birth belongs to this family...thoughts? I couldn't find a Coverly/Marshall marriage.

    Have you got any further back in your tree. Just wondered if Emma's Mother was Marshall and she registered the birth and got mixed up.

    I've had them when they have been married twice to use maiden name and first married name!!

      Thanks, I was wondering if it was a transcription error, but your idea makes sense, too.

      If you look at it, the couple is married in 1861, but the first child I know about is 1868, then they produce a bunch more.
