Looks like Catherine Fisher (Henry Fisher's wife in census) is Catharine Hilton.

Could be that Bertha was Catherine's illegitimate daughter and Henry Fisher was her step-father and he wanted it to be known that Bertha had no legal rights to his estate?

For INFO only

Note wife born same place as Bertha.

I would have thought that Shipley in her name was a clue to her father's identity.............

yes i agree catherine
vey strange but i did think maybe her mother may have married harry fisher but have search for a fisher hilton marriage but can,t seam to find a possible
as i was having another look at the witnesses just now & it looks possile that the 2nd witness could be catherine fisher ???

Interesting to note that Bertha has written her name as Bertha Shipley Hilton Fisher but the Fisher has been crossed out.

Apparantly when Nullius Filius is noted on a document it is to state that the person has no legal rights as far as a heritage is concerned. As she notes her name as Fisher, it may be that her father actually was Henry Fisher but that he wanted it to be confirmed that she had no legal rights to his estate?

(just a theory)

Yes you are right.

Well done Catherine!

catherine
thank you for that infomation it made me smile but a clue why cos bertha is giving me a massive headache lol can,t even seam to find her death gerrrr
thanks for your infomation :-)

thank you so much everyone it looks like this eager beever is goig too have to wait for the birth cert to arrive

once again thank you so much have a lovely day <3

She was almost certainly born to an unmarried mother............

Very hard to read the cert jacky .

Looks like Henry Fisher crossed out and Nullins Hlia at the top of his name .
I did notice Bertha's name also had Fisher as last name crossed out..

Witts
Henry Fisher
Calhourne Fisher..that one is questionable too.

Sue

Father's name looks to be Henry Fisher (Contracter) crossed out and " Nullius Filias " is noted, which is Latin.

nullius filius
(Latinate) A child of unknown parentage; an orphan.
(law) The son of no one; a bastard.

It seems the witness.......Heny Fisher has been entered as the Father and then crossed out.

I can't make out what it reads above in bracketts though.

I will take another look.

Res Institution Street.
