summer of 1919. our mr. jeffcoate worked in brighton and fathered a baby girl born in feb.1920. all we know is the mother was a dancer/actress[ my grandmother] and they worked at a theater in brighton. this is a long shot but she would love to know.

Do you know what his christian name was. Is your relative called Pearl. The birth of Pearl Jeffcoate, is registered in Brighton, in the first quarter of1920, and her mother had the maiden name of Garner. If this is her, then the birth certificate would give you lots of information.

no clue as to his first name. the subject was always hushed up.

What was your grandmother's maiden name. This will give a clue as to whether the Pearl Jeffcoate is the person you are seeking. In the first quarter of 1920, there is a child registered as being born in Brighton, who was called Pearl Jeffcoate. This child had a mother, whose maiden name was Garner.

I hope you understand this, as this could be the person you are seeking.

this is her. we haven't seen her records and she has no clue as to who her father is other than jeffcoate. she will be 90 in feb. and has always wondered what he looked like.
thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

pearl is the one.
It is such a shame they don't list the fathers name.
I do thank you

We might be able to find it. Do you know the Christian name of her mother or not?

Pearl Patricas' mother was Hilda May Garner.
Although @time of Aunt Pearl birth she was married; we do know his name, date of marriage,etc. He wasn't Pearls father, its rather complicated considering children born out of wedlock.

Pearl is registered under the name of Pearl Jeffcoate.

Have you got the birth certificate, because if not, you should really get it. Even if Her mother was not married to Mr. Jeffcoate, if he is down as the father, the birth certificate will hold his full names. If he was not married to Pearl's mother, he would have had to attend to sign the register. It will be money well spent, if you want his name.

If you are saying that Mr. Jeffcoate was NOT the father of Pearl, you are not likely to find out who he was.
