children of berenice quinn and berenice broome

[CaroleW]

So the illegitimate child who is the subject of the post may not have been born as Quinn

A possibility but she may have been Blodwyns child

That looks very likely, Carole.

Several possibilities there:
Could the family story have become confused over the years?
Or was she Berenice's child but registered under both names for respectability.
Or could she have been registered as Blodwyn's child even though Berenice had given birth to her?

There is a possible burial of a Mary Quinn in April 1936 in Southern Cemetery Manchester, it does appear to be a common grave.

Could this be a bit more information about that birth from Lancs BMD?

The fact that Berenice was illegitimate and not born as Quinn may not have been known by Dave when he posted. 

It would appear that Berenice was his mother so a lot will depend on exactly what information she gave the family about the baby before she died.

Berenice appears to have been under 16yrs old when the child was born as I think she was born in October 1920 - not 1921.

The 1932 birth would not be to Berenice (b. 1921), so both births to mother Blodwyn?

JUN Q 1936
QUINN Mary             mother   MARK     Manchester S  8d / 249

I think Dave is aware that Berenice was born as Mark
