Yes this is her. I have visited her grave in Chesterfield. She is buried with two of her children. Melinda and George.

Ailah May born in 1901 married George Baker in 1922


An extra 'I' added to spelling of Ailah's name but this looks to be her death entry

Wow,just checked back and I'm overwhelmed everyone by your replies. Many Thanks to all of you.

Ailah May born in 1901 married George Baker in 1922 and they had  a daughter also in 1922 also called Ailah May. So it was obviously a family name. Although the Ailah born in 1922 had a daughter in 1945 with John Smith and named her Carol so she didn't carry on the name. Carol was my mother.

I have managed to find information on some of the Baker family,(children from Ailah and George) there is a sister who would be 77 now and I wrote last week to an address I found on the internet but as yet have no reply. My grandmother died aged 25 when my mum was 2 and I have never met any of that side of the family. So here's hoping

The Common Room / Re: birth certificate illegitimate in 1909, Scotland. Father not given

I too have  a birth certificate of someone I'm tracing in 1901 with no father on. It must have been quite a scandal back then as I know even in the 40's unmarried mothers were looked down on.

Hope you find all the info. Fascinating stuff!

I have come across an ancestor Patrick Hall who was a School Master in Derbyshire - He married in about 1806 and had two children with his wife Sarah.  In 1817 Sarah gave birth to a daughter and both died.  I have come across a Patrick Hall of Horsley School Master being convicted and transported to Australia in 1829 for 7 years.  There is also a newspaper article about his crime.  My question is how do I now go about confirming and getting more information on this.  Many thanks  :)

The lack of a fathers name on a birth certificate usually means the child is illegitimate.

Family History Beginners Board / Searching for information on a family member 1901
« on: Monday 22 February 16 20:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,this is my first post on here.

I started researching my family tree for medical reasons but soon got bitten by the bug. I have found out a lot of information so far. I ordered the birth certificate of my great grandmother so I could find out my great great grandmothers name. On the certificate which I received today is indeed her mums name but In the box where the  fathers name  should be it is blank and has a line through it,the same with the fathers occupation box. The year was 1901. I'm thinking it must have been quite the scandal in that time?
My great great grandmother was called Sarah Elizabeth Peach and was a domestic servant. I think I have found her in records and that her date of birth was 1874. Her daughter was born 12/10/01 and named Ailah May. She was born at puddle hill bonsall UD but the address of her mother was south street,Newton Alfreton.
If I am correct Sarah married 3yrs after having her daughter to a William Housley. Who I presume wasn't the father as he isn't on the birth certificate.
Can anybody help with any further information on that family or as to why the father would have been left off a birth certificate?
Thank you.
