Thanks Andy and KGarrad
I w
Love a mystry as much as the next person, believe me, I can hunt most stuff down. But this is becoming my nemesis.
My G mother & G Father got together while he was still married, and they didn't marry until I was 4 yrs old, when his 1st wife died.
I check the census for South Marsh Street (as my G Mother was born 1900) but there is no sign of birth mother or family there. I cannot look at electrol roll as Cumbria is just that too far for a day trip.
I have also draw a blank with family,the information I got from my mother was certainly off the mark, as I think they tried to cover up they weren't married and my G Mother may never have know she was adopted. Her father other marriage licence shows John Brown, occupation Farmer.
Help!
Anne
