The Common Room / Illegitimate babies and finding fathers- where to being or when to give up?!
« on: Friday 09 November 18 13:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone. I'm pretty new to roots chat and to genealogy in general, so I'm hoping you might be able to either point me in the right direction or tell me if I'm wasting my time!

My Grandma was born 'out of wedlock' in 1939 and so far as any of us in the family knows, her mother never revealed the identity of the father to anyone. All we know is that she was in service at the time, possibly in a house in Scotland, but returned home to Lancashire to have the baby.

Do I have any hope of uncovering who her biological father was, and if so where would be a good place to start?

Many thanks in advance!  :)

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Cheshire Lunatic Asylum Elizabeth Holland
« on: Monday 29 October 18 15:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. Just wondering if anyone might be able to help me find one of my ancestors, Elizabeth Holland who was a patient at Cheshire Lunatic Asylum between 1865 and 1867. I've found her on the UK Lunacy Patients Admission Register so I know she was admitted on 15/02/1865 and died 09/03/1867 and is buried in Overleigh Cemetery. What I haven't been able to find out so far is why she was admitted, or her cause of death or any other details of her time at the asylum. If anyone could shed any light, or point me in the right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful.
