many thx. Some used the 3 names

All Uk birth records are Langford.

Answer 1

I would use one of the following:

• Langford Sidebottom
• Sidebottom (Langford)
• (Langford) Sidebottom

Probably the last one, so the full name would be Robert (Langford) Sidebottom. 

Hope this helps!

Comments

Thx as I think Sidebottom is misleading. They are DNA Langford.

Birth name Langford but the Australian born were Langford-Sidebottom.

One Langford-Sidebottom dropped Langford and used Sidebottom.
