Hi there im trying to solve a family mystery at present but i think i may have to join the OFHS to do it!
Im trying to establish parents for my Great Grandmother Elsie Rosina Clarke i have this info from 1901 census chipping norton

James Clarke 54 born moreton in marsh
Elizabeth Clarke 52 born kingham
Francess  Clarke 28 born Chipping norton
Lilly May 3 born Chipping norton
Elsie Rosina Clarke 4 born Broadway worcs

As you can see Elsie was born in Broadway in 1896 Evesham where her mother had been sent to a family member to have her child,James and Elizabeth brought Elsie up as their daughter when in fact she was their Granddaughter,to this day know one in our family knows who Elsies parents were and as she no longer with us or my Gramp or his sister id love to be able to at least find out one parent for her so i could tell my Ma,any help or advice on the above would be very much appreciated,many thanks
All the best
