    Do you have the birth cert? If not then it might be worth obtaining a copy of it from the Gro online. It will cost you £9.25 and will give to the correct names of parents.

    Any ideas when and where, Babington & Sykes/Cross got married? Do you have a first name so we can try and trace them in 1911?

    ''oldest five children had mothers surname on their birth certs as babington but grandma and her elder brother had cross as mothers name''

    Something is wrong here, what was the fathers surname if the mothers were Babington or Cross ? Where does Sykes come in? was this the fathers surname?

    Mary Penelope Babington born 1925 in Lincolnshire, I cannot find a birth with this name or a marriage. Are you sure your Grandmothers middle name was Penelope ?

    There is a birth of Mary Babington in Boston Linclonshire in 1925, but the mothers maiden name has been transcribed as Crose on one of the Pay to view sites.

    I have been doing some research and wondered if the following names mean anything to you....

    Philip Syks mother Sykes 1926
    William, Frederick irene B babington mother Wright

    William dies 1944
    frederick died I think 1952

    There are other Babington names Christopher, Clifford, Ernest
