Hi, Apart from illegitimacy, is there any other reason that the father wouldn't be named? Thanks Joan
Maybe they didn't know who the father was :)) Mike Morris Toronto Canada From: Joan M via DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> To: 'Derbyshire genealogy' <[email protected]> Cc: Joan M <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 3, 2017 10:16 AM Apart from illegitimacy, is there any other reason that the father wouldn't be named?

Surely that is the same as illegitimacy! -----Original Message----- From: DERBYSGEN [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Morris via DERBYSGEN Sent: 03 June 2017 19:55 To: Derbyshire genealogy <[email protected]> Cc: Mike Morris <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DBY] Baptisms where father isn't named Maybe they didn't know who the father was :)) Mike Morris Toronto Canada From: Joan M via DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> To: 'Derbyshire genealogy' <[email protected]> Cc: Joan M <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 3, 2017 10:16 AM Apart from illegitimacy, is there any other reason that the father wouldn't be named?

Just a suggestion, could the father have possibly been killed in a mining accident or in warfare before babe was born, or run off with the lodger!!!!!!! > On 3 Jun 2017, at 19:55, Mike Morris via DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Maybe they didn't know who the father was :)) > Mike Morris Toronto Canada > > From: Joan M via DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> > To: 'Derbyshire genealogy' <[email protected]> > Cc: Joan M <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, June 3, 2017 10:16 AM > > Apart from illegitimacy, is there any other reason that the father wouldn't > be named?

As others have said, illegitimacy is the most likely reason But have you checked the original parish register entry?

I find this a fascinating thread , having a couple of "blanks" or mismatches between birth and marriage cert father's details in my tree. Is any anywhere of academic research on illegitimacy in C18-19s ?

Prof Rebecca Probert's book on marriage covers this aspect I think. She asserts that often parents married after the first child was born as social pressure to be able to reproduce was quite intense.
