	As the father is not named, you can only research the maternal line

If there is no father on the birth certificate, then you will probably not find one - unless Emily marries and names her father on her wedding certificate, but probably unlikely. 1911 census transcription details for: 87 Park Road St Helens National Archive Reference: RG14PN22803 RG78PN1333 RD456 SD5 ED49 SN59 Reg.

Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	I am trying to find out details of my grandmothers relatives. My grandmother was Emily Hankey - born 1905 in St Helens - I have found her birth record and her mother Annie Hankey 1879 Prescot - also other family members on the census but i cannot find out any details of my grandmothers father - i requested a birth certificate - but there are no details on that of the father - do i give up? or are there any other routes i can look down? Any suggestions greatly received. Many thanks :-S
