Hi all,   
      
   One of my ancestors changed his surname and married the woman who gave birth   
   to his daughter. This daughter took the new surname of her father even though   
   she was registered under his former name.   
      
   My cousin and I have been chasing this fellow for about 12 years until just   
   recently when she put in the wife's surname in Birmingham and found the   
   marriage.   
      
   We are in the process of purchasing the marriage certificate but was wondering   
   if there was a source we could look at.   
      
   My ancestor was Alfred Frederick Esse (b 1868)who had a child with Annie Agnes   
   Gough in 1890 but did not marry then.  He married an Ethel Cannon (b 1875) and   
   had two children with her in 1899 and 1900 then he promptly fell off the face   
   of the earth until    
   recently found with a new name.   
      
   Alfred also lied about his age by -10 years at the time of his marriage to   
   Annie.   
      
   Any advice or information will be greatly appreciated.   
      
   Thanks and regards,   
   Di
