I am searching for information on my grandmother's family. Her name is ATTWOOD, Beatrice May, b. Sep 1897 in Worcester, died in Halifax Nova Scotia. She came to Canada around 1914 with her sister Louisa (through Middlemore Home). Louisa returned to Worcester around 1916. Parents were Charles and Harriet (unknown last name for Harriet). There may also be a sister Annie. Names linked with Louisa or Annie are Walter and Peter Cook. I have been searching for years and this is all the info I have. Can anyone help. Thank you so much. Brenda

Hi Brenda,
This looks as if it might be Beatrice's birth reg:
ATTWOOD, Beatrice May
Sept. q 1897, Worcester 6c/288.
If you order this certificate, it will give you the names of both parents (including her mother's maiden name). I'll keep fossicking in the meantime.
Cheers,
Ros

If you tap into freebmd (forget exact address - google will bring it up immediately) it will give you info for how to order certificates.
I'm presuming you are not in England! I'm in NZ and fax off for my certificates. It's very reliable and takes about two weeks. I'm sure there are other ways to do it - but this one works for me.
I'm still hunting for your Charles, Harriet and Beatrice on censuses but with no luck so far.
Good luck!
Ros

Thanks again Ros for all your help.
No, I am not in England. I am in Canada.
I sometimes wonder if Harriet, Charles, Beatrice and Louisa existed, it has been a long road trying to find info. They must have existed - I am here! I was able to get papers from Canadian British Home Children archives for Beatrice and Louisa. These papers give no information on family in England, just arrival in Canada, where they were placed for work, and Louisa's return to England.
I'll keep plugging away. And ... thank you for the welcome. Time for me to get ready to work or I'll be late. I'm sure we'll be in touch.
Take care,
Brenda

Hi Brenda
There is a family in Herefordshire in 1901 father Charles but mother Louisa not Harriet. They do have a daughter called Annie with them in 1891, no Louisa but she could be working away. Other problem is Beatrice born Worcestershire is 8 which is older than your Beatrice  Do you want me to post full details in case?
Cheers Jan

There is an Annie Louisa Attwood born Malvern as are the other children in the family I mentioned - working as a servant in 1901.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for responding. I have Louisa's birth listed as 1899, but you never know. The birth dates I have for both Beatrice and Louisa came from LDS site. The year does coincide with the ages that they were when they were sent to Canada.
I appreciate the help you are providing.
Cheers,
Brenda

The Annie Louisa I found was born 1883 so would seem far too old to be yours and the only Beatrice Attwood born Worcestershire appears unlikely too as you her age from more than one source  . I've had another search for these people but as you have already found there is no sign of them
If you want to PM me your email I could send the image of the family I found for you to peruse.
Cheers Jan

Here they are (hiding under Allwood in 1901 census site and Callwood in Ancestry)
3 Clara Villa, Cavendish st(?),Worcester
Charles Attwood,head,m,37,corporation waggoner,Connerton,Worcs
Harriet,wife,37,Naunton,Worcs
Alice,dau,16,button maker,Tewkesbury,Worcs
Ellen,dau,12,Connerton,Worcs
Alfred E,son,9,Overbury,Worcs
Elizabeth,dau7,Connerton,Worcs
Annie,dau,5,Worcester
Beatrice M,dau,3,Worcester
Louisa,dau,1,Worcester
RG13/2779 Folio 38
I got there by a tortuous route. I started with the birth entries which you most likely have from the IGI at www.familysearch.org
Then I tried the 1891 census and found the following:
1891 census
Overbury
Sch no. 96;Milkhouse farm
William Bubb,head,m,70,agricultural lab,Worcs,Ripple
Sarah Bubb,wife,m,67,Gloucs,Tewkesbury
John H Bubb,gr son,10,scholar,Worcs,Twyning
Sch no.97;Milkhouse farm
Charles Attwood,head,m,27,agricultural lab,Worcs,Conderton
Harriett Attwood,wife,m,28,Worcs,Ripple
Alice Bubb,step dau,7,scholar,Gloucs,Tewkesbury
Ellen Attwood,dau,2,Worcs,Conderton
Florence L Attwood,dau,1,Worcs,Overbury
RG12/2050 Folio 125
That all fitted so perfectly with the IGI entries for parents Charles and Harriett that I thought surely the rest must be right. No joy for any of them in 1901 but I did find the 1881 entry for Harriett
1881 census
Twining
Sch no. 27; Brockeredge Common
William Bubb(-tt?),head,m,67,farm labourer,Worcs,Ripple
Sarah Butt,wife,m,48,Gloucs,Tewkesbury
Harriet Bubb,dau,unm,17,servant,Worcs,Ripple
Sarah Ann Bubb,dau,11,scholar,Worcs,Ripple
Eliza Bubb,dau,8,scholar,Gloucs,Twyning
(Surname spelling confusing, seems to be with a t and a b!)
RG11/2578 Folio 157
There is a Charles Attwood in the 1881 census, boarding in tewkesbury along with what are probably younger brothers Owen 14 and Hubert 12, all born Overbury,Worcs
Back to the 1901 census, and this time I tried looking for Beatrice born Worcester 1897....and up she popped as Callwood!
If you PM me your email address I'll send the images 
I wonder if this is Harriett?
ATTWOOD, Harriet
Death
Aged 45
March 1909
Worcester
Volume 6c Page 184

Wow that's exciting and they're not even mine - I've only been searching for them - Brenda will no doubt be over the moon.

WOO HOO!!! I am so thrilled with the information that Gardener has provided (special thank you sent to Gardener by PM).
Jan, you are right when you say I would be "over the moon". That doesn't describe it.
I am going to do a special post for the the good folks out there who care enough to help in our searches for ancestors.
Thank you !!
Brenda

Great work Gardener! I've found scribbled on a piece of paper in front of me a marriage ref. for Charles Attwood/Harriet Bubb, Tewkesbury Mar q. 1888 6a/557 - which seems to tie in.
Brenda, I was interested in your search because my gggrandfather Levi Woodworth Eaton came from Nova Scotia. Good luck with the rest of your search.

Hi Ros,
I have noted the marriage of Charles/Harriet - thank you. (I'm still quite hyper with all the ancestry info I have received tonight).
Where does your gggrandfather comes from in Nova Scotia. With your expertise, I would expect that you have all the info!
Cheers
Brenda
