  Marriage Notes:

The 1901 Census shows, Alice Breakspear living with Frank George Owen as his wife. All children (except for the 3rd Matilda and 4th Alice) registered with the surname of Breakspear. Birth certificate for Frederick has no name for the father, but Alice Breakspear as the Mother. Birth certificates for Frank William Owen Breakspear and Phyllis Emily Owen Breakspear has the Breakspear crossed out (not officially?). All subsequently dropped Breakspear, useing Owen as their surname instead. Eventually married in 1919, after the Death of Frank Georges first wife Ada.

Marriage Certificate to Frank George shows Catherine now Alice, Fathers name, William Breakspear (deceased), plasterer.
