Hi

Seems my grandfather was a bit of a drunken vagabond who kept my grandmother barefoot and pregnant!

There's much debate in my immediate family (in Australia) about the actual location of place of birth for my mother (who died young in 1982).

Seems my grandparents kept moving about so I am wondering which hospitals my mother and her siblings may have been born in.

Here are the FREEBMD entries for my mother (who I have 'bolded') and her siblings;

Births Sep 1929   Tomany, Mary C - Davidson,  Fylde,  8e, 810.
Births Sep 1930  Tomany    ^(*)    Davidson    Fylde    8e   831    
Births Dec 1931 Tomany    ^(*)    Davidson    Oldham    8d   966   
Births Mar 1933  Tomany    ^(*)    Davidson    Oldham    8d   1032   
Births Jun 1934   Tomany    ^(*)    Davidson    Manchester S.    8d   320   
Births Sep 1935   Tomany    ^(*)    Davidson    Manchester S.    8d   290    
Births Sep 1937  Tomany    ^(*)    Davidson    Manchester N.    8d   487   

Or indeed were children of the poor born at home usually - before the introduction of the NHS?

Any thoughts and assistance appreciated,

Thanks - Jaahda

HI,

My maternal grandmother, Jemima Tomany Nee Davidson (Glasgow) died 09 Jul 1939 at 20 Kell Lane Withington.
(Inquest Notes name of deceased; JEMIMA TOMANY date of death; 9TH JULY 1939 date of inquest; 19TH JULY 1939 where and when inquest held; MANCHESTER officer in charge of case; J RYCROFT age of deceased; 34 YEARS address of deceased; 20 KELL LANE WITHINGTON place of death; 20 KELL LANE WITHINGTON)


On July 22nd, 1939 'The Manchester City News' (“The News”) reported the following:-
CASE “BRISTLING WITH SUSPICION”:
Coroner and Death of a Mother of Nine.

Our family has been told that the inquest is no longer available.

Can anyone tell me how I might be able to view this newspaper so as to be able to look up subsequent articles regarding this 'suspicious death'?
Also - I would like any clues as to how I might be able to find out more.

For instance - does anyone know if it is worth asking the Police; might they have records of cases etc.

Her children were deposited into Hollymount Orphanage in Fleetwood - and my grandfather was never heard of again (this is a separate matter that I might start another thread for).

Thanks

HI - i have been looking around for a birth entry for William Rawlings, born Braunston, Oakham some time after the 1861 Census; parents Mary Ann Rawlings Nee Woods and William Rawlings. I've been looking all around the place.

Thanks
