I agree with your findings. This is the change of name I was alluding to earlier. But he still needs to get the birth certificate.

Absolutely, I agree.

But I do liking having a rummage (when I should be doing a whole host of other things!)

Well done you!!

So Gertrude took the name of her mother's husband. We will never know whether he was her true father.

Can't believe I missed the entry in the IGI. Usually look there first!!

I find that the IGI is quite good for later (post-1837) Hertfordshire parish records, having some family from that neck of the woods, so habit to try there.
