Haycock Albert J R Rosewell Lambeth 1d 361
This is exactly how it's recorded on GRO index...
HAYCOCK, ALBERT JOHN ROSEWELL
GRO Reference: 1927 D Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 01D Page 361
In both cases, Rosewell is MMS.
Unfortunately, regardless of who the father of A J was, his surname is that of his mother's
legal surname which was Haycock.
A J was not recorded under any other surname which suggests, if he was illegitimate, his 'biological' father wasn't present when his birth was recorded/registered.
I'd be very surprised if indeed a different father was named on a baptism if it occurred but who knows?
I would have assumed by the time AJR was born the mother would have registered the birth as her child, I stand to be corrected of course .
LM
In my thinking there may have been a 'possibility' of Gertrude being the mother, a pre-arrangement with Emily & Jack being the 'parents', I doubt any proof would be needed for them/her (Emily) to register the birth with them as parents?
