	Unusual! The index does have just a dash under MMN and freebmd transcribe this as unknown. Two possible reasons spring to mind - the child had been abandoned, given a name and surname but obviously no mother's name would be known or the Index compiler could not make out the name on the copy of the Register. The actual birth cert might help.

Having found a possible daughter b.1951 in Bridgend looking at the transcript under mothers maiden name it's just got a line thro it, can anyone explain why this is please. Many thanks ShelleyRose. x
