Yes his birth was registered after his baptism,  and with lily bamford as mother.
Also John was Wright Bamfords fathers name and her brothers name...we dont know where the name John Bamford came from, or Lily.

We think they were all fiction, again as clarence was illegitimate,so as to save face on Berthas part.
Dont think well ever know who is father was tbh.

Just wanted to be sure that Bertha was his biological mother and not Lily(who may be fictional)

Yes...I was in that haha.

That's why I was saying we hit a dead end.... and was looking at his adoptive parents and his life the "price" family.

I did say we'd hit a dead end and i  was trying to look at different side of the family. everyones posts were coming through so fast I didnt want to be rude  like "yes I already knew" as new to this.😬 Apologies.

You did not say that the dead end was through rootschat.
