	Hello Well, the birth certificate arrived this morning (a day early - well done GRO!!) and it confirms that we have the correct John William Fretwell and family in the censuses that you all kindly found for me. Details are - 30th March 1876 at 35 Rathbone Street, Plaistow. John William Fretwell. Parents - Charles Fretwell, a Dock labourer, and Eliza Fretwell formerly Johnson. But no clue as to why they changed their name to Cook - does anyone have any suggestion? Sue
