Hi Carol

In my experience if there is only a mother's name then it indicates either that the child is illegitimate or that the mother is a widow.

You can only find this out by looking at the original - if the child is 'baseborn' then it will be marked as the parish would then pursue the father (if the mother knew who he was and would tell) to serve a bastardy order which would oblige him to pay for the child's upbringing.

After quite some time off due to illness, I am back trying to trace my 4 x great-grandparents.
I believe Rhoda's parents could be Thomas Hartburn 1763-1840 and Elizabeth Dayburn 1771-1855.
But that's as far as I have got.
Any help is much appreciated.

Here is the Bt of the marriage of Joseph Jefferson and Rhoda Hartburn. Witnesses were Esther Doughty, Robert Coates and John Johnson ( witnesses can be worth following up in case they were relatives).
