it normally means the mother wouldn't or couldn't name the father.
for whatever her reasons were.the is no way of finding out who he really was.

For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

If the fathers name had been given after registration, then the original birth certificate would have been amended and superseded. Only certs with the new information are issued after.

Sometimes (but not always) there is a hand written note in the birth index to show there had been an amendment.
