I have just been contacted by a relative who`s uncle has recently died .
They found the uncles  birth certificate with the fathers name crossed out with a thick black line ,i told her to get a copy and she say`s a copy has been issued and is exactly the same, the name crossed out .I do know the parent`s were not married at the time of birth but the fathers name is correct .
Have you any idea how this could come about ? this is a Legal document i would not have thought crossing out would have been acceptable ,surely the registrar would have made a new one out if he had made a mistake ,Hope you can help .
Thank you Maggie55

i have Rebecca senior as i say as the mother of Rebecca 1866 the godmother was Ellen Hudson was also a boarder with Rebecca senior in 1861 .
I then have Rebecca senior in 1881 living at 14 Whalley street Ancoat`s? she is shown as the wife of Thomas Gregson but they did not marry untill 1884 in Wigan when Amelia (as she was known )stood for her mother ,and Amelia is using the name gregson on the cesus but a year later uses the Speakman name on her marriage to John Mcmannon (who by the way vanished before she married my g grandfather in 1901 and again uses the name Speakman ,that`s another story believe me it is mind boggling lol
Then i have Rebecca Senior in 1891 in Earlstown married name Gregson then nothing after that still no sign`s of Rebecca junior
The young Rebecca? yes You may be right about the adoption it looks like her mother  had a very mixed life i would say Her daughter Amelia was the same she had 3 more births that we know nothing about crazy isnt it ,i wish i could find out where the mother Rebecca came from i know for definate it was Tipperary but i am at a dead end no sign of a birth there for her .
The reason i have so much information is because i started to follow the witness on the Mcmannon certificate ,so i think i will try Ellen Hudson now and the lady they were lodging with in 1861 i wonder could she have taken Rebecca back to her birthplace in the USA ? is there a relation ship to rebecca there ? a possibility maybe .
