I have the following baptism information
1849
Samuel
Parents Samuel Perry, Martha Rixn (sic)
Occupation Labourer/singlewoman
(in margin: illegitimate crossed through)
Would the word ‘illegitimate’ be crossed through because the father acknowledged the child, even though the birth certificate only has the mother’s name?
This couple also had two more children in the same parish and both of their baptisms only have the parent as mother/occupation singlewoman.
Would welcome any thoughts.
