Margaret was born about 1786 to John and Mary Golding. According to ancestry poor law settlement records in 1805, she was pregnant with no means of support, and father was unable also to support her so he asked St Leonards, Shoreditch to support her. They passed the responsibility to Christ Church Parish being her last known place of residence. I am trying to find out what happened to Margaret. I have searched as many possible websites as I can find, but cannot find any trace of her. I am fairly certain that she may have ended up in the Wolverhampton area - where she may have been in 1841. Her child may have been Edward but I do not know his birth/baptism date as various records record him as being born anywhere between 1801 to 1813. Can anyone give me a clue where I might find some information about her. Many thanks.

Many thanks to you both. As this is not the birth of Edward I'll keep on looking and hope that one day I'll uncover it. Your help is much appreciated.
