Who were the fathers ?

[Galium]

I hope this isn't too late, but if the father's name was on the birth certificates, the  index would show two entries for the birth; one for each surname, with the same page and volume number. 
This doesn't appear to be the case with Eleanor Thorne's children.  So there is no need to buy a birth certificate to find out if the father's name is on it.

If any of the children knew who their father was, they might have named him on their marriage certificate, when there is no restriction on an illegitimate child naming their father.   But although this could have happened there is no guarantee that it did.

But be aware that a lot of illegitimate people 'made up' a father for the marriage certificate

I have the birth and marriage certificates of her youngest child and the space for the father is left blank.

I know that two of them were sent to Barnardos homes so would it  be worthwhile spending the £70 each they want in the hope that the names of the fathers is included in the information they send?

That is up to you,
As I said in reply #3 , yu will only find the fathers name if it was recorded somewhere and if that document has survived.

Who wants £70 each? That is just daylight robbery specially when the certificates can be bought from official circles for £9.25 each.

Barnardos Homes want £70 for each child's records.

Goodness, that does seem rather a lot.

Sorry I thought it was a rip off certificate site! No doubt Barnado's have a funding gap to fill.
