Can anyone help me, Im trying to trace fathers for the years 1910 and 1919 there names are not on the birth certificates, but I know there are ways of finding them for the 1800s but is there a way of finding them for the early 1900s? any advice would be appreciated? |

IF they were baptised may be the father's details were entered on the parish records?? KIM |

Thank you, will check parish records for the 1919 date. But i know this isnt a factor with the 1910 date. As for marriage certificates I tried that already the 1919 date has left the father blank and the 1910 date has his step fathers name down. Thanks anyway! |

Hi Bob, No it doesnt say step father but as this man was the father of his brothers and sisters and came along much later we presume he was a step father, but I see your point! thanks. Spoke to my Mum and she said that her Dad did think this man may have been his real father, but who knows! Wish I could read the minds of my deceased relatives sometimes!!! |

Its just that my Grandad Clayton was illigitimate (one of two Claytons) along with six Dixons after marriage. All lived as one family. In 1891 Grandad was put down as a "Dixon" and "son" and then in 1901 he is a "Clayton" again and "stepson". Family legend has it that he (greatgrandad Dixon) was the father of all, but it is confusing! Bob |
