I am trying to find the parents of George Whitehouse born 1852 in Liverpool Lancashire.
I looked on free BMD but is does not give his mothers maiden name ( 8b/184 June 1852 Liverpool )
I know his father was also George mother unknown I have looked for him on the 1861 census with no luck.
I do have all of George born 1852 & Mary Ann (nee Carr) born 1856 details
Thank you for any information

From the GRO site - no mmn listed, so infers illegitimate

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
WHITEHOUSE, GEORGE -
GRO Reference: 1852 J Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 184

How do you "know" his Father was George

Birth cert. will name Mother

By 1861 he could be living as a step son if Mother married and using that surname
