hi oc very interesting imformation thank you linda

hi julie thanks for your help yes i do have henrys birth certificate and it clearly states john sheer as the father thanks linda

Linda The child of a married woman is always the child of her husband, by English law. So, if she 'forgot' to tell the Registrar that her husband was dead, then he would automatically enter her husband as the father of her child. She wasn't the only one to do this! OC

Do you have Henry's B/C Maybe Thomas Shipton is his dad and cos Clara and Thomas wasn't married she put down John Sheer as his dad. A similar thing has happened to me

Linda i can't access the census anymore what relationship are the children to head of house

Linda You think thats bad My nans parents on the 1901 census say that they were married, but oh no the weren't, they got married 14 years after she was born lol

listed as step children to thomas
