Nottinghamshire / Re: Looking for the employer of Elizabeth Emma Smith 1908 Hucknall Torkand
« on: Wednesday 09 May 18 19:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi and thank you! No they don't note it. I have birth certificates for May and Frances. Both have father spot blank but both say that Elizabeth was employed as "domestic servant Hucknall Torkand". May born April 12 1909 and then Elizabeth was discharged from Basford June 39 1909.  In 1911 census May was noted with her mother and infant Frances at Basford workhouse. Elizabeths occupation is housemaid dosmestic. 

In 1917 Elizabeth married Mr Edward Faulconbridge and they moved to Bulwell  at 73 Oxford St. They had 3 daughters and a son who died at age 9.

I wonder if any of the employers/affluent homes in H.T. would have a roster/register/tax registry of their servants?

Nottinghamshire / Looking for the employer of Elizabeth Emma Smith 1908 Hucknall Torkand

My husband’s grandmother, May (Smith) Collier was born in the Basford workhouse April 12 1909.
Her mother was Elizabeth Emma Smith b. 1887 who worked as a domestic servant in Hucknall Torkand.
Elizabeth also had a second child, Frances, born 1911 in Basford workhouse who died in Dec 1911.
We are hoping to find where in Hucknall Torkand Elizabeth worked as a domestic servant,
it is family lore that her male employer was the father of both of her children.
