Margaret Hellen Walker TAYLOR ("Maggie"; Helen in the baptism register; m. BELL)
THE INITIAL IS SETTLED AND IT IS WALKER. The 1891 census transcription reads 'Margaret H. N.' and FreeBMD abbreviates to 'W'; the GRO index prints WALKER in full, and so does the Northam baptism register. Walker is Helen Walker's surname, five generations up. Married CHARLES WILLIAM BELL - banns at Northam 22 November 1903, marriage registered at PANCRAS, London, Dec quarter 1903. AND THE TWO SOURCES SPELL HER MIDDLE NAME DIFFERENTLY. The GRO index prints HELLEN and the Northam baptism register has HELEN, one L. Both are kept in her name here rather than one being chosen, because the choice would be arbitrary and the difference is the sort of thing that makes a person unfindable later.
