I am trying to trace details on a family member.
We know that she came to live with her real mother at age approx 7 and took on the surname of the man her mother had married and lived with and he brought her up as his own.
before age 7 we believe she must've lived with her real father (who we guess was some lord of the manor who her mother was a servant for and they got "involved" and had a child tog.)
now i cannot find her birth certificate as i'm guessing it must hold her with the surname of her real father, but the maiden name we all knew her by was of the man her mother married who was not her real father.
she is no longer alive so we can't ask her, but seems her mother never discussed it with her and she died never knowing the truth anyway.
how do i go about tracing her birth certificate please?
can anyone help?
thank you
