ILLEGITIMATE OR NOT ???

Sorry,if i am a little slow in replying;still a 'novice' with computers & forums.....Yes i will do that get some credits with FMP.
If i attempted to get copies of Peckham electoral roll,prior to my grandmothers birth in 1917 maybe it will confirm the situation.
Her mother was born in 1886/87 then as Alice Skinner,and she gave birth to my grandmother (Dorothy Skinner) in 1917.Yes her mother did remain with her grandmother,i was told that.So it can be seen Alice Skinner was certainly unmarried at my grandmothers birth.It seems the names and photo of Reuben/Charles will be a mystery for the moment

I've just checked the GRO Index for Dorothy's birth and there are 4 born Sept. quarter 1917:
Dorothy - mother's name SKINNER
Dorothy L - mother's name SKINNER
Dorothy M - mother's name BROWN
Dorothy M- mother's name TURNER

so it looks, at first glance as though the first 2 were illegitimate (unless there was a SKINNER / SKINNER marriage.
the PRs might have a "reputed" father's name added, if you can get a look at them.
