Hi,

It's not unusual for an illegitimate child to give their grandfather or stepfathers name. 
This has happened more than once with my lot and caused a bit of confusion to begin with in my research.

Hi,

I have been lucky perhaps as most of them gave their grandfathers details which I knew or found later in earlier census returns.
