    Talking A happy ending

    Just to 'finish off the case' and thank you all again, the birth certificate arrived this morning. The H in his name did stand for Head!

    Registration District: Scarborough.
    Born on 15 March 1898 at 6 Cliff Bridge Place, Scarborough.
    Charles James Head Kappey.
    Mother: Mary Caroline Faunce Kappey formerly Bayly.
    No father given.
    Informant: Mother, M. C. F. Kappey of 6 Crown Terrace, Scarborough who registered the birth on 25 April 1898.

    You were probably all correct about the twin being stillborn (or a lie/mistake by the angry husband?), but I'm convinced that this is the baby who later became Charles James Bond, based on the same birth year, place of birth given in the 1901 Census, his 'adopted' status which was confirmed in his death notice, and my great-grandmother being a caring servant in the Barclay Brook Head household. I'll never know about the other twin or why my great-grandparents changed his place of birth to Dublin in the 1911 Census but I love it when the jigsaw fits together.

    Many, many thanks to you all!
