My Nan has a Dad that actually cant be possible...

[TylerGib]

Hello,

Right my Nan Sarah M Lawe (using maiden names here) has a mum called Nellie Surgey Lawe.
However on my Nans marriage cert it reads that her Father is a James Lawe. Not possible. Nellie Surgey Lawe is a Lawe by blood, by her mum, so how can my Nan have this fellow down as her dad?

Im awaiting her birth cert to see if that helps me out, but failing that how can I, if its possible to find her actual Dad, or would I be up the proverbial creek without proverbial paddle?

March 1925 East Retford is shown on the registration record..

There are probably only 2 possibilities-

1) she was illegitimate and made up father's name for marriage certificate
2) her mother and father both had the same surname before they married

Hi,I found her birth record on FindMyPast,and it says her Mothers maiden name was;Lawe.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

Sorry if there is some confusion here, I know that Nellie is a Lawe for Family Bible fact, but only by name, I found her proper Dad (not a Lawe) through investigation but will not go into details on that matter, but what I would like to know is, if my Nan (Sarah M Lawe) has a false Father on her Birth Cert too, much like her Marriage Cert, where would I to go on from then?

Lawe, Nellie S   

Mother's maiden name - Lawe

I dont get this one at all 

Nellie S Lawe was born in 1887.....

You're right (of course!).

I just got excited finding a birth for Nellie S Lawe!!

[Ladyhawk]

Your Nan's name - do you know what the middle initial 'M' stands for, is it possible her mother could have given her the surname of her father 

The birth KGarrad found in 1911 is it possible she may be the daughter of Nellie Surgey Lawe b1887

Nellie Surgey Lawe is still single in 1911, and doesn't appear to get married until 1927 or 1930?
