Quite a few of mine did not understand the question either! She named the father of her child as her own father. Fortunately for my sanity, he had been dead for many years.

My great grandfather, William, has Joseph for a father on his birth cert, instead of James.
It was OC who gave me the idea than Uncle Joe registered the birth. Have since found some anecdotal evidence through old letters that William was born while his mother was visiting her family. It annoys me having the wrong name as the father, but not much I can do. So, certainly there can be lies and mistakes on certs.

Edited original post because Frederick Palmer is 2nd Mate Merchant Service, Service being passenger ships I think rather than Navy.
Not sure I am right. Last edited by maggie_4_7; 14-08-20 at 08:16. |

Sarah I'm afraid so I am beginning to think she made them up but why not use the same name!

Actually, I'd begin to wonder whether Fred's surname was Palmer.

Hmm, here is a Thomas William Palmer, solicitor (retired) in 1911 but if his age is correct (80) he would be too young to be Thomas's father:
