The Common Room / Birth/adoption records in 1940's
« on: Thursday 16 July 20 15:44 BST (UK)  »
I have a family member who was born, probably, in 1941 or thereabouts.  I cannot find a birth record for her however much I try.  I know if a child was adopted this would be the case but I'm pretty certain she was not but, if so, did adoptions take place during the war years?   I would welcome any ideas please regarding finding details.  Many thanks :)

Dorset / Lilian May Morgan
« on: Sunday 28 June 20 14:37 BST (UK)  »
Trying to trace an ancestor - Lilian May MORGAN- who was a house/parlour maid (domestic) in WYKE, Gillingham, Dorset  in 1930's. Are there any large estates/houses within this village that she may have worked in please? She had a daughter (Daphne Mary) in 1937 at this address - Cennick House, 11 St. Alban,s  Avenue, Bournemouth which seems to have been a Free church home for unmarried mothers at this time.  I have found a death record for a Lilian May Morgan in Jan 1985 (age 68), burial at Gillingham but it states 'no name' for father and mother.
Many thanks!

Can anyone remember please what industry was alongside the river - I know Stothert & Pitt were there for many, many years and also at one time there was a factory that produced ladies corsets I believe.
Thank you.   :)

I have discovered this lady in my 'tree' and she appears to have been born in Uckfield.  She married a man by the name of Ebenezer Mepham (he was born in Withyam) in 1899 and they went on to have nine children.  I cannot find a birth for her whatsoever.  Any ideas please.  Thank you very much.
