So I'm still convinced she lied about her maiden name to hide the fact Francis de Montford was given the last name Culpin at birth when he should have been registered as Newman.Koneinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785071561168264151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039532572810759706.post-59881959867819895402009-10-01T09:37:49.995+01:002009-10-01T09:37:49.995+01:00Yeah, guilty, I might just have been in "simp...Yeah, guilty, I might just have been in "simplify" mode!! I know that I've got the marriage cert somewhere and that her father's name is different, but she does give her maiden name as Culpin. As for the siblings, guilty again, sorry: I think George & Flo had 3 kids - Ivy (b. St Albans 1897, died Holborn 1899), Francis & Verula. I promise not to rush next time! :-) Latest find is Flo's petition for Judicial separation in 1917.pengenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235574608950944426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039532572810759706.post-41573535310290164892009-09-28T22:08:29.379+01:002009-09-28T22:08:29.379+01:00Actually, Francis de Montfort's dad was George...Actually, Francis de Montfort's dad was George Francis Culpin and his mum was Florence Sarah Newman. Francis was born when George and Florence were living together but weren't married; George was already married to Kate Sherrington. She was living in Stevenage with their 5 daughters in 1901 while he lived in St Alban with Florence who stated then she was his wife. George and Florence got married in 1905 right after Kate died. They probably tried to cover up the fact Francis was illegitimate but still registered under the last name Culpin at birth. If she said her maiden name was Culpin at the marriage no one would be the wiser.<br />Could you tell me more on Francis' siblings? I've only been able to find Verula born in 1906. The others were born after the 1911 census I presume?Koneinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785071561168264151noreply@blogger.com
