What surname to use on BCC

Post by Rob »

I am uncertain what surname to use for Nancy Follows on BCC.
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =389487499

She is mentioned on census's as Follows and Fallows. Also Fellows is used in 1881 for her family but Fallows on the image.
The family lived in Eel Street,Oldbury and there were quite a few of them so i asked my mother who lived there from the 1920's and she said she knew only Fellows in the street!!
What do i do?
