Terry ;
sorry about your delema, do you think maybe it could be that ---Naomi-- was
an illegitimate child. in other words her mothers last name before marriage
was "Boniface"
when the mother of "Naomi" married "Bellingham" he adopted adopted that
child,and therefore she had the "Bellingham" name on her marriage license.
"What was Naomi mothers maiden name"?
