I believe his mothers name was florence and his father is unknown is there any way to find out who he is.

Have you sent off for his birth certificate to see if his parents are both named ?

On the face of it Florence was married but if you think Terence was illiitimate then her husband won't be reg as the father on his birth cert

You need to get the birth cert for its info

Not seeing a possible marriage for her in the same area of his birth ,but it was wartime and folks moved around because of the bombing . Several of my family ,including me !!! , were Londoners but were evacuated to the midlands in the 1940's

Hi we have the original and father is not stated. Was wondering if there was any census records that had terence and florence on so that we could find if he lived with them. ive had no luck so far.

from what we know the family were all and stayed in the holywell are.

No there won't be census for that time


Have you checked out her address at the time he was born

Did his mum bring him up ??

Thanks for all the help looks like i will need to try and get some more info from living relatives and try again.

Did your grandfather know his grandparents . What about aunts and uncles ?

Any further info you can get may help

You may not find who his dad was though unless his mum divulged that info to another family member

do you know if terence had any brothers or sisters?

Anthony .............

If a married woman has a baby, that child is automatically registered in her married name, and that applies even if her husband has been dead for a number of years. The longest time between death and registration of a baby in the father's name was 10 years!

The only time a different name will be registered as the father is if the mother states at the time of registration that the name is xxxxxxx


The only thing that you might be able to find out is to find out who the mother was married to, and then see if he was out of the country, as it was during WW2.

The site that most of us to find out registrations of births marriages and deaths is Freebmd ............... as the name implies, it is free :-)
