Avril There is a faint chance that your graandmother took out a maintenance order against the father. This would have been done, probably, in the Magistrate's Court where she lived. The County Records may be able to help you, although I am not sure how you stand with regard to access to this information - but nothing ventured, nothing gained! OC

Avril, do you have your parent's marriage certificate, That may give a father's name. I wish you luck. My husband only had his birth certificate and a memorial card for his mother@s death. From that I traced his family. Sheila
