	If there is no father named on the certificate and the two names "Geoffrey" and "Hawley" are in the same column then they are first and middle names and his surname would be Edwards. However quite a few unmarried mothers gave their child the surname of the father as a middle name so there is a possibility that "Hawley" might just be the father's surname. However there is no way of knowing this for certain unless someone in the family has any information. Kath. x
