   mid 20C, E&W - mother's occupation on bi   
   10 Jan 22 23:34:35   
   
   From: myths@ic24.net   
      
   When might mother's occupation appear on a full birth certificate in   
   England in the years between WW2 and 1984?   
      
   In thje last few years, I have come across three GRO birth   
   certificates from London registration districts where  the mother was   
   the informant and no father was named.   
      
   It's not always possible to be sure of what's in an image in a   
   television programme, but in each case there seemed to be, after the   
   mother's name, an occupation and an address - presumably place of work   
   since it differed from the residential address in her entry as   
   informant.   
      
   How normal was it to include cccupation of the mother if she was the   
   only parent listed?   
      
   How common was it for any parent's details to include a place of work   
   as well as an occupation?
