no father on birth cert

[Maiden Stone]

An illegitimate brother & sister, seemingly raised by grandma & her 2nd husband, step-grandfather of the 2 children. At their weddings they both gave father's name as a combination of step-grandfather's 1st name + their own surname. Occupation was cotton spinner which had been occupation of (deceased) step-grandfather's occupation and which was also occupation of majority of men in the town. A son from each marriage was named after his  fictitious grandfather.
Edit. I mixed up generations and put "stepfather" instead of "step-grandfather". The children were down as children of their step-grandfather on one census and with his surname. It's confusing.

One of my GGgrandmothers was illegitimate, but she named the same man as her father at both of her marriages - thirty years apart.  He was not the man her mother married a few years after GGgrandmother was born, so I am inclined to think that her mother had told her the truth.
