On my great grandmothers birth cert. in l858, her mother is given as "formerly - maiden name" although she did not marry her "husband" until a few years later - just in time for the l86l census! |

I wonder whether Joanne will return. I'm just trawling for Barnards, one of my mystery ancestors being one. ;) |

The 1911 census might not help in this case. |

Have you found them on the 1911 census? What is Elizabeth's marital status shown as on there? (married/widowed/single). And, of course, is there a William with them at that time? |

That's a strange one! Normally no father's name is a pretty good indicator that the baby was illegitimate but with you mentioning that the brother George has a father's name listed, I'm very puzzled! (Unless the mother happened to come across a strict looking registrar when she went to register the birth and something about them made her decide to invent a husband?) |

Hoping someone can give some advice. My grandmother Annie Pearson (nee Barnard) born 1905 in Woolwich has no fathers name on her birth certificate neither do her 3 sisters who were born before (1903) and after (1908, 1910) her but her brother George Barnard, born in 1906 has a fathers name of Willliam Barnard on his birth certificate. On Annie's marriage certificate her fathers name is recorded as William Barnard - does anyone know why the father's name is not on her birth certificate but would be on her marriage certificate? Her mother Elizabeth is recorded as Barnard (nee Harvey) and I think I have found a marriage certificate for her and William prior to 1905. Many thanks |
