Hayley, she was illegitimate. The fathers name on the marriage cert may be one she has made up due to embarrassment or it may be she found out his name at a later date. |

Did her mother marry at a later date and is the name of the man she married the same as that on the marriage cert for your GGMx2? |

Although rules were introduced so that unmarried parents both had to be present at the registration if the father was named, there aren't rules to prevent him being named on a subsequent marriage certificate. |
