Another Sterry mystery (General)

No. You may well be able to correct me but I don't remember coming across single mothers registering their children with the father's surname when the father is unstated and the child is base-born. (For example, I've been through over 200 years of baptisms over at Avening without seeing such an instance.) What you do quite often see in those days is the father's surname being given as the child's middle name. This one is plain Beatrice, the mother plain Laura.
