It's the fact that she stayed around from February till April when she registered the birth that made me think that she may have had the baby baptised. Many baptisms at that time would have been in the first few weeks after the birth, and especially after having a child who was illegitimate I think many mothers would have wanted the child to be accepted by the church even if society stigmatized them.

Have to go to bed now, but good luck in your search.

Hi Simon,

I can understand your problem, how frustrating for you.

Did her Mum sign the certificate you have, or if not could you get a copy of the one she did sign, then I would go for a Marriage Cert, that way you might be able to rule one out, or even better, find a matching one from the church registers but it needs to be the original as the GRO one is a copy.

Kind regards
Amanda
