Hi all,
I'm looking at a family in the 1911, one of the daughters is my grt gr.
As well as the 4 grown children in the household there is a 2 yr old boy listed as 'adopted'
- he has the same family surname
- I can see a birth online, also for the family surname
Suspicion: there are 3 daughters of a child bearing age (and grt granny went on to have an illegitimate son in 1913!)- have the grandparents 'adopted' their grandson?
Query: If this is so, do you think the birth will be registered to the correct mother (i.e.the daughter) or was it practice then to register him as belonging to grandparents?
I know I can solve this by ordering the cert, just wondering if it'll tell the truth????
