Middle name......his father's name?

Post by Colin W »

A boy in my family was born in 1911. On his birth certificate no father was listed.

The boy had the middle name ‘Fear’. What are the chances that this could be his father’s surname?

It's a hint - no more. "Fear" could have been a name in the mother's ancestry... But yes, it could be the father's surname.
