God evening, I do research in India, and on many occasions the mother's name isn't given on a birth/baptism record, e.g.
>>>> snip Birth Date 7 - Mar Birth Year 1831 Baptised Surname Dennison Source Event Birth ** Entry At Vizagapatam, the lady of Capt. Dennison, country sea service, of a son and heir. <<<< >>>snip and Birth Date 31 - Oct Birth Year 1811 Source Event Birth **Entry Mrs. Dennison, of a daughter. <<<< It happens very frequently that only one parent is named, sometimes the Bapt. record says :- A son to Capt. Dennison and A Native woman. I just thought I'd show you a couple of examples of instances when it's possible that a wife/partner isn't known.
