Family History Beginners Board / help need to find Edith Barker
« on: Sunday 10 August 14 01:44 BST (UK) »
Trying to find my paternal grandmother Edith Irene Barker born c1898. my father was born out of wedlock as Frank Brownlow Barker 17th June 1916 at 194 Gleadless Road Sheffield, I have his birth certificate only which states no father or occupation of father, mother Edith Irene Barker a domestic servant address 194 gleadless road Sheffield.
I do know that the father is my grandad Frank Brownlow born 1896 Warsop and lived in this area all his life and I have all of his family records, it is possible that Edith also lived in this area and went away to have the baby. My father was taken from Edith, I believe around 1921 as not being looked after and lived with grandad into adult hood. I am unable to find any details for marriage or death for Edith since 1916.
I have located an Edith Irene Barker c 1898 Greyingham Lincolnshire and one born in 1886.
As all the family has now passed I have struck a brickwall.
Also is there anyway I can get details of schools that my father may have attended in the Warsop,Mansfield area, and how to find out who lived at 194 Gleadless Road in 1916, I have the Blackwell living there until possibly 1914 but can't get any further.
Any help or suggestion would be most appreciated. Cathy
