I expect several of us will have come across cases where an unmarried teenage girl has a baby that is subsequently registered as belonging to grannie, to save face.
I know these days this would be next to impossible, because of all the form-filling done by the midwife etc, that has to be produced at the register office.
Does anyone know whether there would have been similar procedures in place in the 1950's to prevent a deliberate case of claiming the wrong person was the mother?
