Born out of wedlock name changed later on
My father's birth certificate states his name as john smith (smith being his mothers name) no father on certificate, my father was born in 1912 and his mother did not marry until 1918,I was put up for adoption in 1952,and when aged eighteen I had access to my adoption file, and it stated my fathers name being john jones which was his mothers husband,I was named Jane jones,and my brother and sister also had the same surname,how would my father become richard pope his fathers name,but was registered under the mothers name,thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this problem thank you kind regards jane
