Isaac could just have been her father .................. deaths have to be reported within 5 days of the doctor or coroner's report

so if he died around the 25th of September 1902, then his death could have just been registered before the 30th,

it is then 9 months until June 1903 .................... mothers have 6 weeks in which to register a birth.

so, if Freda was born in late June, but her birth not registered until July .......... it will appear in the September quarter i the GRO Index.


You HAVE to buy that birth certificate to find out!



However, I should warn you that a baby born to a married woman is automatically deemed to be the child of her husband even if that husband is dead ................... the longest gap that I have found between death of husband and birth of "his" child is 10 years!


It all depends on what the mother tells the Registrar ................... unless she specifically says "father unknown" or names another man, then the husband's name is put into the "Father" column.






May I please add that you would have helped us enormously, and saved some members wasting time, if you had said on your so-delayed return yesterday that you had all the information, and that what you wanted to know was Freda's father.

so ..............


your other thread explains just why Freda cannot be Isaac's daughter .....................

Hi all to have been so kind in helping me. I have just got back from the Uk I did some grave yard tramping and found a few interesting things out. Isaac was unlikely to be Freda's father as he had been put into the workhouse in Thorpe in 1895 according to his death cert he died of general paralysis so would not have been able to father children. There is also a daughter Dorothy Bendall died in 1896 11 days old buried in Weybourne
So who was Freda's father could it of been William Wright????






This is exactly why GR asks that people do not start more than one thread on the same person or family ..........

.......... the helper members repeating searches that have already been carried out!

You need to buy certificates of her birth and marriage

Freda is Margaret Bendall nee Mackrell daughter, she was born in 1903 4 years after Isaac died and 3 years before Margaret married William Wright.

If you don't get the birth cert, you'll never know what the mother said about the child's father. No-one on here can guess.

As she was listed Bendall on the index, and on 1911 census, the odds are that
she lied and named Isaac, but the only way to find out is to spend £9.25 on the cert

Please, Valerie, if you ask for help in future, stick to one thread, as it saves people looking for info which you already know

Most of the stuff on here had already been added to your other thread.
