Hi

Since posting below I have since discovered this relation has a few different names. He was married twice using the name 'Albert Solly' but died and was buried under the name 'Herbert Edward Solly' on 5/1/1950. Of note the name in the paper announcing his second marriage has him as "Ebert"

I am hitting constant brick walls showing to find out who this man actually was (he was married to my great grandma Emma Jane Cornwall (Stone, Williams). Any help anyone can give me in solving the mystery of what name this man was actually born under would be much appreciated.

thanks and regards
Anne

Hi Anne

I have found a record that may be the right Albert E Solly. I have attached a family history file for you to review. I am a relation being a descendent of his Grandfather Henry Solly.

Hi Bob
Thank you so much for taking the time to have a look and replying. It does look like the name and age could fit except for the fact my Albert/Herbert seems adamant that his father's name is Stephen (as per two marriage certs). Since posting above I have another theory. I will put this together later on tonight when I have time. I would be interested to know your thoughts on this.
Regards
Anne
