Hospital Birth Registers In 1941

[rosie99]

If there is no father named on the birth certificate, it is worth bearing in mind that anyone named in the hospital register is highly likely to be fictional.

Good point Jebber 
Much like the invented fathers on marriage certificates of illegitimate children

I don't know much about hospital registers but some time ago I requested my birth records, I was born a twin, I was very ill and not expected to live and my mother brother and I spent nearly 6 weeks in hospital, I had to prove my parents were married and my mother' death and I did eventually get my  records and of course my mother was mentioned,  they wouldn't mention my brother as I hadn't got his permission, silly me, didn't think of that at the time, my parents were married but he wasn't mentioned.

My husband was considering  looking at records of his birth, Bristol archives, who hold them, will permit it on receipt of appropriate identification documents for himself. If he wishes to look at his mother's records then either a letter from her giving permission is required or a copy of her death certificate  (If deceased). Records of other people would be obscured.

Not necessarily
For unmarried parents, for the father to be named on the birth certificate, he had to attend the registration.
If only the mother registered the birth, no father's name could be entered even if it was known & acknowledged --so a name given to the hospital could be perfectly correct
