:)Hi
My stepfather's grandmother was a Pauliene Caroliene Maire Croxton, her father was Walter Raliegh Croxton born 1862 in Ramsden. Now searching for Paulienes Christening, her father came up as Raliegh, preferring to use his middle name. The only name that keeps cropping up on the 1871 and 1881 census is the name Riley Croxton born in 1862 in Ramsden, my query is, is this the same person, the person filling in the original census forms perhaps misheard the name Raliegh and put Riley? I can find Walter in th 1901 census in Brigtwell Salome St Nicholas but not in anyother census. Riley comes up in 1871 and 1881 but no others! Wondering what others may think to this any help would be appreciated
