Thank you very much

Yes that sounds correct with son John, age 6 years old...
This one piece of information has opened up a new query, please

Could there be anyone who could shed any light on the name or background of John Archibald's father?

He was thought to be from Polish descent.

I will be very glad indeed of any help.

Is his birth certificate blank in that regard?

[turramurra]

I cannot as yet find evidence of birth but have looked
Would the father's name automatically be on any document in these days in Scotland ?
What about if name unknown?

Thank you very much for any help...

I am constantly amazed at the perseverance of roots chat people.
It all helps to sort out fact from fiction!

To rule out Ruby as per pm

I don’t know if  a father would be mentioned or not on a birth cert . Presumably not if indexed under Archibald,  on the other hand it’s Scotland  so there might be some hint.

Did he marry in Australia? Did he give any name there?

When John, the son, marries in Victoria, what details does the certificate record for his origins?

Robina Scott ARCHIBALD died, 1975, in Victoria....with another surname........and her death notice names her as mother of John...and a named daughter?

I am avoiding naming people who might be alive.

The father's name can only be on the birth certificate if he accompanied the mother to the Registrar's when she went to register the birth, and signed the certificate at that time.

His name could only be added later if a court instructed the Registrar to do so, in which case there would be an entry in the Register of Corrected Entries (RCE).

What about if name unknown?

There would be a blank space.
