Hi Linda I thought that a line drawn through where the father's name should have been usually meant that the person was illegitimate but the only Mary Tranters born in Shropshire around that time, from the census records, appear to have fathers. Unless....she was born before mum married and she took stepfather's name... Heather

Are there any TRANTER witnesses at her marriage? Maybe the combination of 1st names will help to identify the correct family in census.
