Ada Maud Blake born 12.2.1876 at 4 East Place, Chatham, Kent, England her mother was Elizabeth nee Gillmore and her father given as William, stoker FN, her birth was registered by her mother. I have this from her birth cert.
1881 was visitor aged 3 with Sophia Kidney in Chatham
1891 was living/staying with Henry Green and Emily nee Kidney in Chatham given as niece Emily is one of Sophia's daughter.
1901 servant to W.Palmer Rochester
1908 marriage to Henry John Osburn, father's name given as William a mariner. witnesses George Green (Ann Kidney's husband also one of Sophia's daughters) and Charlotte Ada Kidney daughter of one of Sophia's son George.
The only marriage between a William Blake and Elizabeth Gillmore I have found is in Sheppey, Kent 1872 on a 1911 census for them they give only 2 daughters Elizabeth Mary Sheppey 1873 and Florence Emily Sheppey 1882.
Ada Maud is not mentioned at all. Sophia Kidney and her daughters would appear to bring this child up.
on her birth certificate the address given is 4 East Place, Chatham, Kent, can anyone please find out who was living there in 1871 and 1881 ? I suspect that William Blake is not her father,
