Think I would just add it to the notes. Unless you buy his birth cert and the father is named on it!

With the info that I have would you be adding Robert Allen as father to Robert Baker or would it be better to just add it to the notes part of my tree.

Our postings crossed again Mel.

Looks like dad wasn't mentioned on the baptism record then. Looks like there are two possibles for his father, both married.

I will have to see if I can find a baptism record.

chrissie,
on the 1851 census ellen age 27 is the daughter and Robert age 8 months and Elizabeth age 4yrs are the grandchildren.
jabezage 22 is the son.
one of these may be mum or dad to the children.

Chrissie, it may not necessarily have been a stepfather's name. One possibility is that he was illegitimate and so registered in his mother's maiden name of Baker. However, if the natural father admitted paternity then he could well be named on the marriage record.

If this is his birth reg, his middle name was Allen.....same surname as that given for his father


Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

This transcription reads as though Jabez is the father but on the actual census form Jabez is unmarried and it dos'nt say they are his children.
