Iommi family

We know he is the correct person as he lists his mother so there should be one half sister listed. So can only assume it was either an error or he didn't understand the question.
 
I went through his record this morning and it definitely says no whole or half siblings. It does list 3 Smith uncles but I haven't checked them out.
Mother is Mrs Elizabeth Barker.
 
If he is passing himself as a Foster (true or not) then he would have had to say his father was deceased. Not certain he was but his mother is married to another man so has to say

Hmm its all abit odd.....
you no what thou, the surviving sibling which is my line, Alexandra, she always said she had half siblings no full ones, so violet would of died by then and im guessing she was on about Alfred. But there was no dna back then if in doubt and the fathers name is on the birth certificate, so ill just leave everything how it is.
But Alexandra had a plaque with Alfreds name and details on which needs repairs and has been passed down, and it would be nice to put his actual name on there, but can't really because not 100 percent sure.

Yes his headstone and the plaque both say foster, but as some repair work is being made to the plaque thought it would be nice to also make note of the other surname. But as cannot be sure on it, better not :)
