If they were married would she then have to show proof of the marriage. My husband's mother (now deceased) has stated his parents weren't married, yet his name is on the birth certificate, I have looked at the guidelines for registration and got a little confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
