I sent for what seemed might be a birth certificate of an illegitimate child born in an area , where I had relatives of the same name.
The cert. came today and the baby girl was born to a single mother, but the far right hand side notes 'Adopted'.
Would the adoption have had to have taken place after 1927 for it to be noted such?
If this is the case, it is likely that the child perhaps kept her given names.
Any illegitimate births I have come across so far have been absorbed into the family group in some way.
