	My mother was illigitimate (sp) but I took my fathers name as they were married. You will also take your Dads name, I take it was only your mum who was born out of wedlock Uzzi

I'm sure that your mother's marriage was legal. She wasn't intending to mislead cover up a former marriage, so I don't imagine their would have been a problem. Her stepfather's name was the name she was known by. :-))
