Just to clarify.
A person whose mother is Jewish, is Jewish and is eligible to marry a Jew with a Rabbi and a ketubah. Even if his mother does not have a ketubah of her own.
You use the parents' ketuba as proof that the mother is Jewish, but that is not the only possible proof.
(Barring the person being a 'mamzer'- whose mother gave birth to another man's child with out a divorce.)
