	I would think that the only way she could have got the name is if the mother told the daughter who her father was. I have a marriage cert for my grandmother and on it she names her father but with a different surname. The vicar had crossed through it but I was able to read it. Her own birth cert has no father named, but I managed to find the family on census returns living in the same house as the man my gran named as her father.
