A bit of a discrepancy between the mmn listed on Albert jnr's birth reg. (Taylor) to his mother's (Leah) surname listed on her marriage reg. to Albert snr (Evans).
Explained by Leah's mother (Ellen) marrying twice, first to a William Evans (Leah's father) and then to a George Henry Taylor.
Despite appearing to not marry until 1927 Ellen is listed as George's wife on the 1911 census and weirdly her 2 children are listed as son/daughter of wife by future marriage. Not sure if the late marriage implies that William Evans was still alive.

Sorry, it wasn't your father's mother that married twice, it was your father's grandmother (Leah's mother) that married twice.
Leah's father was a William Evans and her step father was George Henry Taylor.
When she married she was listed (correctly) as Leah Evans but when her son was born his mother's maiden name was (incorrectly) listed as Taylor.
