Hi,
One of my great grandmothers was Mary Jane BENNETT, born 6th August 1878 in Hunsdon, Hertfordshire. Her mother was Hannah BENNETT. On the birth
certificate, there is no father or father's occupation listed, and I assume Mary Jane was illegitimate. Is there anyway to find out who her father was.
Two years after Mary Jane's birth her mother Hannah married a Charles Burton in Widford, Hertfordshire. They went on to have seven children together. Could Charles Burton be Mary Jane's father, or, as they did not marry straightaway, is the father likely to be someone else.
Any thought or suggestions as to where to go for help, would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
