Hi Andrea,

If you found his birth on the IGI and there is no father name, then it would suggest that he was illegitmate, Unfortunately thier site is not working properly so I cant check.

His mother may have married a Playford after his birth.

Hi

Have you checked the Wood Dalling registers?  Often the originals have things not noted in indexes.

You mention Elizabeth & Robert Playford in the Workhouse, have you looked at the workhouse records?  Where does it say Elizabeth and Robert were born in the 1851 census? 

I have looked at the index of Norfolk marriages and I see no Elizabeth Ward to a Robert Playford beween 1801 and 1837.  I did notice John Ward and Ann Jacobs getting married at Edgefield in 1825 though.

Best of luck.
