Hi Pauline,
Thank you. I would be most grateful if you are able to check it for me. I
shan't be able to get to the CRO for some time.
Many thanks,
Anne.

Hi Anne
I will look at the original entry in Laugharne for you when I am there
this
week......or you could ask in Carmarthen registry office
registrars(a)carmarthenshire.gov.uk
if they have his birth registered.....this would give name of father and
occupation.....you will know then if you have the correct one, if it gives
'writer' as occupation....
In my family.....Rachel Harvey had a child out of wedlock, birth
certificate
listed him as David Harvey.....BUT, he always used the name David
Anthony,
he never lived with his mother, in 1851 census he was classed as lodger,
by
1861 he was living with his grandmother.....and he was buried with
her too
at age 19, also buried under David Anthony (nephew of above not grandson
as
it should have read)......so although he should have been Harvey, he
used
the name Anthony.....so he must have been told that his birth father was
Anthony.....she lived her life as a servant never marrying...so I suppose
anyone could call themselves what they preferred...
Just thought I'd add that to show that although born with one name, he
used
another.....
Pauline
