I have a William Morrison born 1848 in Ashton in Makerfield near Wigan Lancs. On his birth cert. no father is given. He had an older borther John and a sister Ann who also have no father on their birth certs or marriage certs. William also had a younger half sister called Mary Partington. |

Have you thought about a birth certificate for John to compare?maybe William Morrison was the father and the mother just used that name.but as the were never married she perhaps didnt put him on the certificate,,? as all that was required with early registration ,,,,, that ,a birth was registered,,,, |

I have the marriage of Elizabeth and William Morrison in the parish records in 1832, the of baptisms of the two daughters she had with William, the death cert. for William Morrison in 1838, the birth certs. for the 3 illegitimate children she had after she became a widow (no baptisms found as yet, at least they weren,t baptised where they were born), plus the marriage cert. of Elizabeth and Thomas Partington in 1850 and the birth cert. of Mary Partington in 1851. |
