Ah, I only asked because I was looking at a Clarence Platt on the 1901 Canadian census whose birthday was 30th May, but also with the wrong father!
I see the witnesses on the marriage cert were probably already married to each other when Clarence Platt was married but Eunice signed with her maiden name.

I've now found Ernest Platt on the 1891 Canada census and his mother's name on there is Annie which matches the birth registration too.

I've just read this thread back and now realise there's a good chance Canada is a red herring.
I did wonder if the marriage cert of Eunice and Wm Lee would tell us anything?

Thank you Kite & Merry - it looks as though my instinct was wrong then!
Merry, I have the marriage cert for William & Eunice - have tried to copy it but Photobucket seems to have changed and I don't understand it any more! Brighton Register Office - 9th March 1916 William Martin Lee, aged 23, Bachelor, Provision Salesman, 39 Queen's Gardens Brighton William's father -William Lee - Sergeant 14th Hussars (coachman domestic) Eunice Hannah Elizabeth Hope, aged 24, Spinster, Dressmaker, 18 Upper North St, Brighton Eunice's father - George Edgar hope, Carpenter Witnesses - Annie Lee & Edith Penfold I always wondered whether William & Eunice were just two people who happened to be walking by and were asked to witness the marriage Last edited by Muggins in Sussex; 16-06-12 at 19:01. |

Can I just say that in an effort to identify my great aunt's husband who died in WW1 and has a relatively common name, I sent for their marriage certificate because I was assured that it would give his army number. It just said 'Sapper R E' so I have not been able to track him down yet.
It seems therefore that a number on a certificate cannot be guaranteed. AN
