Richard, I am sorry you are back to square 1.
Perhaps ask via archives how much research you can have covered in an hour?
Can you supply specific address on the birth cert you have? Father might be named on baptism at a nearby Church? Or on a school record?
Bastardy records might be good to check and the workhouse creed registers, if you might think there is a possibility they might have entered even for a short spell. I suppose they may have just stayed with family if the latter was willing and able to be supportive.
I would still be interested in Edward Lingwood despite occupation not fitting. Perhaps she just made occupation up because of some familiarity. Perhaps she knew identity of her Father but not his occupation? Lingwood is a distinctive middle name, I think there could well be a link there with Father.
Have you thought of trying to trace him via the DNA route?
