Hi there,
I've just come across this post as I'm looking into my mum's family history. She was born in 1940 at 23 Knole Road, Bournemouth, and her mother (Eileen Joan Hale, unmarried and only 16) was living at St Thomas' Lodge (6 Charminster Road) at the time of registering her birth.
My mum was adopted 4 years later, but did not return to her mother in the meantime. Instead, she was looked after in a nursery. Mum's father has never been identified.
My mum now has dementia and so I'm taking it upon myself to find out as much as I can about her history.
If anyone has any information or suggestions as to how I can further my research I'd be very grateful.
Thank you.
