Marriage Looked up by RF

Arthur HACKETT 23 B Iron Worker 6 Highland Road Oakham Father No Information Given
Florence Mary SILVERS 22 S 22 Carlyle Road Rowley Regis Father Jesse Silvers Chain Maker
Wit; Jesse Arnold Knight / Gertrude Elsie Withers

Descendant of Arthur states that for some reason Arthur was registered as Arthur Smith

this might be him ?


Births Sep 1916
Hackett Arthur Hackett Dudley 6b 1662

Possibly but would probably need birth cert. to take further and why would family think he was registered as Smith

weve seen rumour of the family wrong before maybe less shame to let people think he was registered in his father? name or just a story to put of nosey relations ?

Mumbles I have added in the Bessie Hackett and Arthur smith here
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =609041914


now do we think that Bessie is his mother?
maybe puts down Hackett instead of Painter?

Not sure that this is Arthur Hackett .
I will ask living relative tomorrow if she has any more info

Ok

Think as Peterd says the Electoral regis would help
