I was looking for Hilda M Barrett of yarmouth born 1887 and found her in the 1901 census living with family name Blyth, when I looked into 1891 census she is Hilda M Blyth, her parents names are the same, why would hers change? |

Was her this her mother's maiden name, could she possibly have been born before they were married? |

My paternal g'father was born out of wedlock and birth reg'd as Jim HUDSON. In 1881 at age 16 he was Jim BEETand in 1901 was James BEAT. His first son was reg'd as Henry G BEET but later became HARRY G BEAT. Does this give you any ideas? Ron |
