Copy letter from Frederic Thomas Tanqueray, Superintendent Registrar, Ampthill… 'I have to report that I am informed by the Registrar of Births and Deaths at Woburn in my district that on the 22nd August last a women registered the birth of her male child with him. She gave the name of the child as 'Frederick William Henry Judge' and her own name as 'Violet May Judge' describing herself as the wife of William Henry Judge and the child as the child of the marriage. The Registrar informs us that having doubts about her being a married women he questioned her upon the subject and was assured by her that she was married as she had stated and she issued the birth register as such, In Wednesday last 9th November she was married by License at my Register Office here to Frederick Benson Bowler of Aspley Heath Beds Retired Butcher the name of 'Violet May Seamark' which I find to be her maiden name. The Registrar has now received a letter from [the next line is very faded] 'a solicitor from Bedford stating that the child was illegitimate and that the mother gave the name of the child as father 'Judge' in error and that she is desirous of correcting the error and to change the name in the register from 'Frederick William Henry Judge' to Frederick William Henry Seamark and asking what procedure is necessary to carry the correction out'.
