I am working with the record of a child (Edward) who appears in the 1880 census with the name of his step-father (Dollings) so I entered him as a child of the marriage. However I was suspicious because the step-dad would have been much too young when he was born (mother is older). Following this lead I found a marriage record for the child using his mother's maiden name (Ford) as his surname and with his step-dad vouching for his age for the marriage.
So, all other records for this child after the 1880 census show him with the surname Ford. I have unlinked him from the couple and need to link him to his mother only. How can I do this? I don't believe his mother was married (her death certificate shows her maiden name) when this child was born unless her husband had the same surname as her maiden name.
