As a child Kathleen lived at 4 Wyre Grove, Blackpool. Please, even if you have the tiniest bit of information i would hugely appreciate it x

thankyou, im aware i have posted this before several years ago but have still had no joy with it, thanks for the advice x

Rather than start more posts for the same topic it's best to stick to the original one. If you've new details you can post them on the original one, otherwise you just cause more confusion and extra work for anyone that is trying to help.

Have you checked the birth, marriage, death indexes as suggested? (FreeBMD may not have coverage recent enough or cover the area you need but there are pay sites which might help).

If Leefe was her birth surname and her surname at death, are you sure that she did marry at some point? Does her death certificate show her status as single, married or divorced?

[xmilliemoominsx]

thanks for the advice, i have no idea wether she married or not, the only information i have is what ive mentioned here and being very much an amateur with this i have no idea what im doing if im honest, i have no death certificate

[aghadowey]

Death certificate will list marital status as well as informant (often, but not always a relative).

Since you only know the details you've told us about why do you think she might have married and had a child/children?

[xmilliemoominsx]

i dont know wether she married or evan had children, its a shot in the dark, she is the birth sister of my grandfather who was adopted at a few days old in 1919, kathleen as far as i can find is the only other sibling and since my grandfathers birth mother and grandparents would have died by now she seems my only possibility, my confusion lies that kathleen would have been approx 12 when my grandfather was born so i cant understand why he would be born in a workhouse/orphanage and adopted from there, it was not a legal adoption, more an agreement as his adoption records state he was legally adopted 11 years later, kind regards

I think your next move should be to obtain the death cert,as that is the only date that is 100% certain.It will avoid you tracing the wrong family.
