Alternatively, could Amy have changed her mind about putting a father's name on the certificate for any reason? I'm not aware as yet of any male Quinn relatives with the name Nathaniel. Could Amy have given a boyfriend's name as if they were married? Her eventual husband's name is Albert James Haysom. Jo, Since Amy was still unmarried in 1881, I would say that all the evidence points to Amy being the mother, her mother Sarah being the informant was, I guess, trying to cover up the fact that Amy was unmarried. By that time, the father of an illegitimate child had to be present at the registration to be included on the certificate, hence the crossing out. The eight M and nine M would relate to the alterations the Registrar made, any alteration had to be noted. Jennifer
