I have obtained a certificate showing birth of Susanna Wesley ROGERSON on 21/10/1841, registered at London Rd on 30/10 1841. I also have a certificate showing death of her mother, Elizabeth ROGERSON, on 29/10/1841, also registered on 30/10/1841. I also have a certificate showing birth of Elizabeth ROGERSON, to the same parents, on the same date, but at a different address, registered at the neighbouring district of Ancoats on 26/11/1841. I suspect that the father must have decided to rename Susanna after her mother's death and so went to another district and gave a fictitious, or perhaps a relation's, address. Has anyone else come across such a case? Jim Whitton
