My mum, born to Doris B. Bracher, 1942. No father listed on birth certificate copy. Believe (hearsay only) that the father may be one Wilson (G?) Ferris, possibly of Cricklade in Wiltshire, 1914. I believe Wilson subsequently married Mona Bell in 1944 in Northallerton, and died in 1960 in Swindon in Wiltshire. He might instead (if the Oldham connection is legit) be Wilson Faries - I really don't know how to tell them apart, and I'd really like to know how I can join the dots.
