Notes for Albert Harold Eccleston
His birth index:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
ECCLESTON, ALBERT HAROLD REANEY
GRO Reference: 1896 M Quarter in CANNOCK Volume 06B Page 501
Notice that Albert’s mother’s maiden name is not spelled the same as on her birth or marriage. But Lizzie’s father signed his marriage certificate with an X so it must have been left to the clergyman to decide what spelling to use.
