Have to say, great work folks on all accounts as it was a very difficult one for sure, well done all!

Forfarian,

This one really amazed me after looking at your initial post, how much interest/time/effort/conclusion went into this!

Did you know that if the GRO indexers couldn’t read the surname it is entered as ..., so if you cant find someone, it is worth trying

Thank you Mckha...I didn't know that but very useful, not only for myself but others too!

Thankfully, I haven't had any queries (yet) with GRO listings  :D

Indeed. Thanks to everyone who helped with this.

This is for a friend whose family it is. I'll have to consult with him before I take it any further, as in ordering certificates etc. Or attempting to find the errant father.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
