But even if the ''child'' did see their cert at some later date, they (the child) might keep the details a VERY closely guarded secret! Merry |

Ben I dont think many passports were applied for in 1864, and most people couldn't read or write they just believed what they were told. Georgina. |

Hi My gg grandmother was born illegitimate, and obviously was registered under her mums maiden name in 1864 and her mum and supposed father married when she was 7 months old. Wouldnt the mother of kept a copy of the birth cert for herself, even after marrying the father or possible father, or wouldnt the child want to see his/her birth cert and if not, when the child grew up and wanted to apply for a passport or something in which you'd have to show your birth cert, and couldnt find it then wouldnt they keep trying then eventually find they were registered under their mums maiden name and then find they were illegitimate? I know sometimes the birth was re-registered with the fathers name but not always. Mine wasnt. Makes you think doesnt it? Ben |
