The Common Room / Missing 1910 Birth
« on: Wednesday 04 January 23 22:45 GMT (UK) »
I have a bit of a problem to do with my grandmother. Born 28th March 1910, named Emma Muriel Poland (changed to Polland during WW1 to sound less Germanic). Parents were John Poland 1871 and Emily Hitchens 1875. Resident and born in Liverpool yet 1911 census states Emma was born in Liscard, Cheshire even though they were living in Liverpool and had no family in Liscard or the Wirral at all.
I have an Ancestry subscription but any search I do will not come up with a birth certificate for her. Known by her middle name Muriel all her life, I just cannot pin down her birth. Could it be an adoption?
I'm not sure where to go next with this. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
With thanks
