Hi,

Just another possibility? Normally a birth with mmn being the same indicates an unmarried woman, but not always so. Found this marriage which, although in a completely different area, could fit the time frame.

Remember it was during the war and people did move around quite a bit then. Also, if Ethel was married and her husband had died she may not have been able to raise a child on her own - or maybe it was a wartime romance and husband didn't know?

According the postalheritage .org.uk website the marriage bar was introduced 1876 and finally abolished 1946 as married women were needed as part time workers.
