i am so grateful, i did have a copy of the marriage certificate of matilda and georgs, so i suppose this means that rhoda was born out of wedlock the daughter of matilda? as she appears on her legal marriage certificate as a hook but in the census as a guest. do you agree please? kind regards from sunny south africa!
