My Grandmother was illegitimate and was so ashamed that she tore up her birth certificate!
Now I have no idea what her real surname was. On her wedding certificate, it is down as Bishop, which was the name of the man who brought her up, along with her brothers and sisters. Together with two other possible surnames (Lee and Hardy) I haven't been able to find a record of her birth certificate.
Now, how do you go about finding someone's birth certificate if you don't have their surname? Is it an impossible task?
