Hello, can anyone help. I am trying to find the parents of Doris Edith Walker, b 1 July 1906 entry no 57 of register book 5, Droitwich, Wombersley.
Birth certificate gives fathers name as William Arthur Walker.
Doris married Norman Frederick Thomas Austin on the 19th May 1934 in Birmingham, Borough. The info on the marraige certificates states William Arthur Walker as deceased.
No known info on mother.

Thank you Mark, this sounds right, I will look into it.

I found the birth certificate amongst my grandfathers papers, it defnately does not have the mothers name, it only says "daughter of William Arthur Walker"

I would really like to find out more about her mothers side of the family

Maybe Ellen was actually Helen


Never heard of a birth certificate without the mother's name

Hello Dawn, is the birth certificate a full certificate as shown on the image on this link (you may need to click on the image to enlarge it)?

http://genealogyresearchassistance1.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/please-note-that-all-extracts-included.html

If so, is the column headed Name, Surname and Maiden Name of Mother completely blank?

Oh wow, thanks to all, this would have taken me months to find.

Is there a way one can attach a document, I have scanned the birth certificate. There is definately no mothers onfo, so not sure why it would be different to the "normal" issue.

Are you 100% sure that the certificate is a birth cert issued by the registry office or is it a parish record? of baptism, Baptism records didn't give mothers name although some did give a mothers forename

The full birth info will be on that copy issued by the registry office (details below) and can be obtained from the GRO using the info below and costs £9.25 including postage

Thank you for the info, I think it would be best if I ordered a copy of the birth certificate.

I a coy of the document on my profile picture, but think it may be too small to see.
