Father ?
Posted: 11 Aug 2018 15:46
Hi,
Just out of interest I wondered what other members would record. I have just received a marriage certificate for my great grandmother's illegitimate daughter. Mary was born in 1902, 3 years after my great grandfather died, in 1899. Her birth certificate does not name a father however on her marriage certificate it states, father, Thomas Yale, forgeman. Now I am sure that if I enter what is written I will get a warning that Thomas is dead. I think there has been discussion previously regarding whether to record what is written and what is true but in this case I wondered if others had any thoughts please. I have several other records to corroborate the fact that I have the correct people.
Regards Ann
