A couple of years ago I asked for help about my GGGrandmother Isabelle Bowery who married Edwin Merrett and her connection with a Spanish woman who married Thomas Henry Bowery. I had some help off Slowhands and have managed to find out a bit more but I am stuck on a couple of things and am hoping someone will recognise some names.

My Isabelle Bowery names a William Bowery, thatcher,deceased on the marriage certificate but I believe this was a lie to cover up the fact that she was base born. I have found that a Julia Elizabeth Bowery was born in Newent in 1871 and hope this might be her but I could be totally wrong. A Rosa Bowry entered the Newent workhouse and came out, so I was told, as Rosa Ballinger with a baby named Julia Ballinger born 1st October 1871 (birth certificate info) but there is a Julia Elizabeth Bowry (mother Rose) baptised 19th November 1871 on this website.

I wondered if it was likely that a baby could be baptised with one name and registered with another?

Rose Bowry appears with several siblings and mother Elizabeth, living with a John Ballinger in the 1851 and 1861 census in Longhope but I can't find a marriage, only of Elizabeth Bowery Ballinger widow marrying Joseph Manns in February 1871. I wonder if this Elizabeth is the
