He seems to have married someone called Bambrough (mother of Helga), but I can't see a marriage in the UK for them.

I presume you knew this already?

German records are very hard to find as they are held locally to the area. Plus many were lost in the bombings of WW2

As he in your tree did he marry into it . The marriage cert should name his father .if known

Do you know that Helga's mother actually did marry Manfred (where outside the UK please?,) OR was her mother already still married at the time to Mr. Hatton?

Is she was still married to Mr. Hatton then that could account for the 2 names at birth registration, or, if she and Mr. Hatton had divorced and they she and Manfred were not married, then that would also account for the 2 names.

'Mr Hatton' seems to have re-married in 1974 ?)
