I have four children born out of wedlock to my great grandparents. The first was given her mothers name as her surname and the fathers name as a middle name. The second was given the mothers name and then told he had the father's name so when he came to marry no birth was found so his birth was registered again as at the time he had no idea he had been registered under the other name. The third and forth were given the fathers name with no mention of the mothers. There was then another eight children born after the marriage thankfully all given the fathers name. Kim |

Hi My grandmother's brother was born(1908) out of wedlock, he was registered with his mothers surname which was the name he used all his life. Although she went to London just before she had him, luckly for me i only found his birth cert due to the fact his name was the only one listed within the 5 year period to which he was born. I wouldn't of ordered it otherwise as the family lived up North. She returned to the North shortly after he was born. She later went on to marry a different man and had my grandmother who took on the married name. Julie |

Most probably, as Carol says, registered in the mothers maiden name and no father's name given. However if the brother who brought up the child was married, and the young mother was VERY young, there is the possibility that the brother and his wife registered the child as their own, to save the girl's reputation. However this would still mean the surname was the same, although the brother's wife would be named as mother. Kath. x |

I think that in this case, the birth would be registered in the mothers name and no father given. |
