Originally posted by AntonyM View PostHe's on the new index as HARL , but with a blank for the maiden name. Be interesting to hear what it reveals.
It may be that the registrar didn't follow the convention and used a different wording instead of "formerly", and so the transcribers didn't record a maiden name. I have seen a district where for a period all the mothers are shown as "x late y" and so all have a blank as maiden name on the new index.
So, as I thought, we mustn't assume that the child is always illegitimate if the maiden name is blank.Caroline

Originally posted by teasie View PostDorothy May might actually be a better candidate, as she was born 1915 and the banns were called 1914 - perhaps she was the reason for the wedding that never was. Her DoB seems to be 13 Feb 1915.
I can only find two possible children from her marriage to Frederick Robert J Collins so I'm now debating which certs to get.

Originally posted by teasie View PostGreat news that the mystery has been solved, and a good spot by Carolyn with the birth.
It might be interesting to see who Dorothy named as her father at marriage, but it might be asking too much that she confirmed it was George.
The children of Dorothy is not that contentious, so unless you like to have all the certs I wouldn't bother.Carolyn

I very much doubt that the father will be named as the birth is registered only under the surname Spooner, with the mmn also Spooner. In order for a father to be named - if he is not married to the mother - then he must be present at the registration.
It may be that she obtained some form of maintenance from him, which may be recorded in local court records.

Well,there is definitely no father named on the birth cert. I had wondered if any notes might have been added in order for Mary Ann to prove paternity to the Army.
No father listed on Dorothy May's marriage cert either, but then she may just not have known.
I have looked in the papers on FMP But couldn't find anything so how could she have convinced the Army that George was the father?

You don't need any more proof as such? now that you have proved that she is her child.
like OC says he could have just said that he was the father.Carolyn
