Hi There,
I'm looking for the parents of my Great Grandmother Eva Rixon, but I unfortunately can not find them.. All i know is that she was born in 1907 in Holborn, and she died in 1975.. I would be grateful for any advise or help...
Thanks You

Look for the birth certificate of Eva Rixons children.
Or look for the marriage certificate of Eva Rixon.
Write down the names of your grandmother and all her sisters and brothers, then look at the 1911 census on www.findmypast.co.uk searching for some of those names who were alive in 1911.

Hello and welcome to Rootschat :)
There isn't a 1907 birth in Holborn of an Eva Rixon,but there is a 1904 one?
Births Dec 1904
Eva Rebecca RIXON in Holborn ref 1b 697
Where did you get 1907 from? If it was her death cert they are notoriously wrong as the person giving the info may not have known her exact date of birth.
Who did she marry,where and when,do you have that cert........that will say her age at the time and more likely to be correct than a death cert. It should also give her dad's name.
If you think the above birth is correct you can try and find her in 1911 hopefully with her parents.

By 1904 the Holborn reg district covered Clerkenwell and St Luke as well as Holborn itself so she could have been born in Clerkenwell or St Luke. I dont know if part of Pentonville Road covered the district.
My great gran's first son was born in 1915 in the Holborn district but was born in Holborn itself, Grays Inn Buildings, Roseberry Avenue.
