My Father was born in 1910 and would never talk about any family. Have eventually got a copy of his birth certificate and find only mother's name , no father, he must have been ashamed of this. He therefore has his mother's surname - need to find her birth certificate do I just have to take a guess as to when she may have been born ? |

I always look at the 1901 census first usually the mother is about 18 - 20 ish if unmarried so i would look c 1893 plus or minus a couple of years. |

What may be of interest is to search parish records for the date in 1910 as quite often a vicar would mae a note of the fathers name in the margins! You can usually view the local parish records in your local family record centre |

Does his middle name of Clifton have a significance? Could it be his father's surname? |
