This lady was my Mum. She was always known as Northrop before her marriage to my Dad. Her birth certificate though has the father missing and she has been registered by my Grandmother Lily who was then the widow of Mr Brown. She is therefore registered as a Brown. The whole situation is a puzzle to me. It could be that as my Grandmother registered the birth Mum couldn't have the name of Northrop on her birth certificate as they didn't marry until 1926. Does anyone have any information that they can share with me?
Thanks Sarah
