I have printed the application to order Hugh's birth certificate and hope it shows Pam as his Mother!! Would it listthe father if she wasn't married?

Not sure of that, I know they dont now unless the father is present. Most old ones I have seen just have a strike through the fathers column should the child be born out of wedlock.

I have seen on Baptism records for example:

John Doe baptised 23/1/1860 son of Ann the reputed father being Frank Jones from Wrexham!

Or: The bastard son /daur of Joe Bloggs

I hve just posted lancashire marriages for a Sarah Francis they are not showing dam!

OMG! Fancy them putting that on the birth cert - can you imagine them doing that today...can you imagine the claims for compensation! haha

I can see the postings for the marriages for Sarah, they have appeared a few messages up for some reason...I woudl suggest the Bolton one to try first if I was a betting woman....: )

thanks Ann -

I just want to thank everyone who helped me with my question on Pamala Downs/Francis a few weeks ago Information I never knew about my family was unfolded as a result of your immediate responses, I applied for a birth certificate for Hugh Williams and it proved fruitful. I cannot thank you enough as I would certainly have not found this out myself with being a beginner : ) x
