My 2nd cousin three times removed, Emily Jane Haskoll Parsons, married William Payne in 1913. Then they split up, he lived with her sister May (both Emily and May had children by him in 1914), and Emily married Joseph Lionel Griffiths in 1916, but she used the name Evelyn Rawlings on the marriage cert and gave her maiden name as Rawlings on their children's birth registration. She is Evelyn on the 1921 census, with a birthplace of Bath when it should be Godalming. Meanwhile her sister May is down as Emily J H Paye on the 1921 census but does appear as May on the 1939 Register.
There really was an Evelyn Rawlings born in Bath in 1889 but it seems that Emily stole her identity (although she does give her real dob on the 1939 Register). So the "primary sources" for this branch of the family are not much use!
