I believe it's mathematically impossible for the father to be 1/4 and the child to be 3/4. If the mother was full blood (4/4) and the father was 1/4, add the two together (5/4) and divide by two (5/8). That's a smidge over 1/2, and that's the most the child could be if the father is 1/4. Which is not to say somebody didn't enroll them that way, because that's quite possible.
