Birth record shows that Ada was illegitimate

You will probably never be able to identify her father

Why did you think her maiden name was Batchelor?

Surely you checked your mother's birth details?

That's great, thank you very much, our Ada is a bit of a surprise.

Thank you all.

Thank you very much indeed. Thanks. <3 <3

many thanks folks, sorry about delay. Batchelor was what Ada called her maiden name, but not true it was Ringham, also from Barton Regis work house any records of Mr. Ringham my great grandfather? <3

The 2019 entry says Bingham not Ringham. As there are several males in that list you should be clear as to which Bingham/Ringham you are referring to.

Most library services have free access to Ancestry and sometimes and/or FMP

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, and am confused re the generations.
.
When you say "Mr. Ringham my great grandfather" - are you assuming that Ada's father was a Ringham?

Ada was born illegitimately - record already posted.

Ringham was her unmarried mother Emma's name. Emma was not married to a Ringham - nor to anyone else at the time of Ada's birth.

If you mean Ada's grandfather -
