I too have a certificate like this in the family.

I think the mother is asked her name first, Dorothy French, and is the asked the fathers name. Halfway through writing it down it is realised they are not married so he is removed from the certificate.

In my case, the parents married some years later.

They are in West Ham in 1901. Dorothy/Dorothea married in 1899.

I have a birth certificate for Louisa Martha French born 2nd March 1897 in the Workhouse Infirmary Croydon Surrey. No fathers name given, only mothers name Dorothy French, Domestic Servant of Croydon. There is a baptism in Croydon for Louisa on 22 May 1897 with the names George and Dorothy, French, but George has been crossed out. an address is given on this record as 172 Pawson Road. I have been unable to find Louisa or Dorothy on the 1901 or 1911 Census. Any help finding them would be much appreciated. Thank you. Pam
