Are you questioning the fact that the mother's name is given as Blanche Harmson, formerly Harmson? Perhaps George married a cousin? |

Sorry, I just wondered why her brother or her dads name was down on her childs birth certificate and if anyone had found this before? |

Perhaps they were trying to cover up illegitimacy. |

Blanche died 4th April 1918 in York county hospital with her mum by her side. Death is down as Spanish Flu. |

On the cert where a father was named, who is the informant? If it were one of Blanche's parents, there might have been some confusion by the informant and what info the Reg Officer wanted. |

Agree with DET, probably to cover up illegitimacy or maybe she didn't understand the question and gave her father's name instead of the childs. |

When I spoke to the registry office about it they said that if she was unmarried the father would have to be present when the birth was registered or else it wouldn't go on the certificate. |

We probably all have situations where the mother has pretended to be married when in fact she's been cohabiting. Unless the informant is known to the Regstrar it would be easy to make up a name. |

As there is no birth for Blanche Harmson ,did one of Georges brothers marry someone who already had children? in-effect Georges neice but no blood relation. |
