The mother doesn't have to name the father of a child, so some children are only registered under the mother's maiden name if she is not married. |

It was a law registration requirement if the couple were not married,that the child birth registration is entered in both surnames,, |

It is parental choice if the parents are not married. The father would have had to be present to have his name registered as the father unless he signed a written statement which the mother agreed to. |

When a child is illgitimate and the father aknowledges the birth and attends the regisration then the GRO record shows the child with each surname. no matter which surname you use when ordering, the GRO ref is the same & you will get the one cert which shows both the parents names. |
