Diane,

My father's father's name was recorded on his birth certificate as Joseph Flowers, although his father and grandfather were both Joseph Flower. This was simply an error made by the registrar in question. The two Joseph Flower were silk weavers in the Bethnal Green area of London, probably Huguenots.

kind regards, Brian Flowers
