Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 69 Send Message	On my birth certificate there is just my mothers name, although my mother lived with my father then, and two years later he appears on my baptism certificate. My father was already maried to someone else, but I am sure my mother married him. Is there any way of finding out. We are talking about the 1950s

If they were married when you were born your father would be named on the cert. Were you known by your mother's surname or your father's when you were a child? nell
