I was interested to see Mel's answer about the registration of a child where
the parents are not married.

Following on from this can anyone tell me - if the father is not present can
the child still be given his surname? I have a situation where the child
was registered with the father's family name but the father probably would
not be present at the registration. Could the father's family name be used
even though he could not be named as the father?
