The only sure way to know the parents names is by buying the cert. unfortunately, unless you can find someone on this site, or on another site who is researching the same family.

Yes, certs are the only way.

Unless you're lucky enough to find a baptism and they don't often give the mother's maiden name.


Finding a marriage before the birth helps, but even so it is educated guesswork. However in the above case it looks like Albert married an Ada who didn't have the surname Hurdman. So not your man.

Cathrine, By obtaining the certificate is this the only way to establish the parents.

This is the best I can come up with. Perhaps Freda's mother was married before.
Marriages Jun 1906
Hakesley Florence Kate Cannock 6b 877
Howse Albert Cannock 6b 877
Jackson Robert Cannock 6b 877
PEAKE Ada Florence Cannock 6b 877

There is also this which may be a correction:
Marriages Jun 1906
Howes Albert Cannock 6b 876A


1911:
HOWSE ALBERT M 1884 27 Cannock Staffordshire
HOWSE ADA FLORENCE F 1880 31 Cannock Staffordshire
HOUSEHOLD HOWSE WILLIAM HARRY M 1907 4 Cannock Staffordshire

Hmmmmmmmm.
Births Mar 1880
PEAKE Ada Florence Cannock 6b 474
