Please don't post details of living, or possibly living, people even if they appear on someone's family tree.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I spoke with the person and anyone mentioned is deceased and I have modified to remove the name which is why you didn't understand my reply as it was done when I was tired so sorry everyone

The Ancesty tree listed the Father as William S McDonald as they married whilst the mother was pregnet but he is not the father

As I wrote earlier, the person who has published the tree has posted that. Perhaps they believe it to be true.
You could try contacting the owner.

I can’t see the problem then.
She is the one who has named that person as the father.

Is she (and you) hoping to find the biological father? If he is not named on the birth certificates and there is no family record of him, then DNA might help her through sorting the matches.

Because the man named as the father on the tree married the mother but the tree owner said her grandmother met him whilst carrying the second child with the first deceased we are hoping a father is listed on the birth certifate or death cert

I think it's true in England, as in Ireland, that the father of an illegitimate child for that period couldn't be listed on the birth certificate unless he attended the registration.
I don't think the death certificate would name the father unless he happened to be the informant for the death.
It's possible that children had different fathers that may or may not be the later husband of their mother.

Let's hope we have something on the birth certificate we do have a name but it's not 100%
