Have you tried checking the electoral lists for the addresses shown on the children's birth certificates?
They seem evenly spaced so perhaps had the same father, who may be shown at that address.
Baptisms may also show a father's name.
Whereas his name could not be entered on his illegitimate child's birth certificate, unless he was present, he could still be named on the church register.

What are you asking for?

What is your connection?

Where did you learn that Margaret's father was named Richard?

Any chance of a comment on the info provided?

I don't understand your last post on here................

Reggie - I think that Dorothy has misunderstood the bit you have put in the 'Research' space at the bottom of your threads ( To acknowledge any info I may post, please do NOT click on my name.) and she thinks that this is part of your message to 'her' ??

Good point, Dea................

It would still be good to have acknowledgement of the help provided.................

And I'd love to know why Dorothy deleted the request which prompted the research I did on her behalf.....which now looks utterly stupid.

It can't have been accidental.............................
