Member John7980 found these records which he explains that it was common for families
to use both surnames of parents


I have found 2 Baptisms of children for Riley & Rosina Hearn!
I think this is the same family only using the Hearn name instead of Lee:

There is a GRO death registration for this child but no sign of a birth often the death certificate will give the father’s name and occupation.
