Thomas Watts and Sarah Jane had a few children from 1870 onwards. All children bore the surname Watts. In GRO, the MMN is Roebuck.
 
What was the surname given to children born out of wedlock to parents living together during this time? Is the father's name conceivable?

e.g.:
Annie Watts
Jul 1870 • Halifax, Yorkshire
GRO: WATTS, ANNIE       ROEBUCK 
GRO Reference: 1870  S Quarter in HALIFAX  Volume 09A  Page 509 

Alice Watts (April 1872, Rawmarsh), Caroline Watts (b 23 Apr 1877, 11 Meadow Works, Rawmarsh)

All of their children so far have been bapt on Sep 1 1880, Rawmarsh, St Mary The Virgin (parents: Thomas Watts (occup: burner), Sarah Jane Watts).

Some context: Rawmarsh in 1890.  Meadow Works in the NE corner, on Claypit Lane.  The potteries used a suitable clay which is found close to coal deposits.
