I am particularly interested in the history of my relatives past who lived and worked in Burnley in the mills, namely the Kellys and the Finns. It is where I grew up so the history resonates a lot more with me. I'm really passionate about heritage in Burnley too, especially when I see how, let's face it, it isn't the most up and coming town around. Does anybody know if there are any records of the mills in Burnley and the workers. I assume it is possible to work out from an address the chances of my relatives working in a nearby mill, but I wonder if there are any online resources which might exist around this or might exist somewhere like the town museum. I am curious really. It would be fantastic if there is, so I can start to investigate further. Let me know what you think of my current tree, and if you have any tips to improve how I'm going, that would be fantastic!! Happy Hunting!!

That happened with one of my ancestors too. She was born illegitimate in 1823 and her name was Hannah Smedley (her mother's surname) then her mother married a David Williams and then Hannah married and on one of her children's birth certificate her name was given as Smedley and on another was Williams so I suppose she gave whatever name sprung to mind when registering her children's births.

Hi I have a similar situation. My great grandmother used three different maiden names on the birth certificates of her 16 children. Unlike yours there was only one marriage. The names she used actually helped me confirm her whereabouts on the various census records. She was born illegitimately and her mother later married so that gave two of her surnames, the third came about because her mother, my great great grandmother was also illegitimate with a mother who also married some time after the birth.

Thanks Lesley for your best wishes, indeed it has been a struggle and it will carry on for a while yet, buying certificates has got very expensive so I will take it slowly. And, Hi Susan, your struggle does sound similar and you saying they did want they want sounds right, trying that today would probably have you ending up in jail. Best of luck to you.

Hello Listers, Anyone else had trouble with name changes on birth certificates. Look at this for an example. My Great-Great Grandmother Mary Badger b1840 married John Cox 1868 then Henry Phillips 1886, then Edwin Wright 1890. She had a daughter Mary Badger born 1859 so base born I suppose (my Great-Grandmother of course) who married Alfred Lloyd in 1880. They went on to have 18 children according to the 1911 census and I have purchased a few birth certificates, but here's the rub, so far I have 2 birth certs with the mother as formerly Cox and 4 with the mother as Badger and also one with the mother as Fellowes. They all have the same father Alfred with the same occupation living in the same street but with different numbered houses except for two that share the same numbered house but different years 1883 & 1889. One of the children has Mary Phillips as informant on his birth certificate 1889. So my Great Grandmother gives her former name at the births of several children as one of her mothers married names, and I have so many to get yet, and on top of that did G-G-Grandmother marry again as Mary Cox in 1871 to Richard Fellowes I have found a marriage that says she possibly did and therefore the other birth certificate is correct as well. I started to buy these certificates in 2009 and have only just worked out what has happened, bewildering. Mary I need to buy another marriage certificate.
