Some very elementary research into my maternal ancestors/relatives, all from Northumberland in the UK, has shown a great-aunt who later emigrated to South Africa. The UK census gives her date of birth as 1877, her ln as Wilkin and her given names as Florence Emily E; perhaps they couldn't fit the third mn onto the page. But, her son's death certificate (he was born and lived in SA) shows her as Florence Emily Easteu. Clearly, something is very wrong here. The rest of her family, she had several siblings, all had very mainstream names. The writing is clear. Any suggestions would be most welcome!
