Hi Listers Phyllis Darling born 1 Jan 1918 (noted as Darling on her marriage registration) parents maud christina retallick and joseph peter darling who married in 1919 Can someone look to see if Phyllis birth was registered as RETALLICK (her mother's maiden name) or DARLING? Also if registered as Retallick can they check the births 1919/1920 to see if she was legitimatised AFTER her parents marriage. thanks Patsy
