The Common Room / Gladys Ivy Willis 1925-2007 Adoption
« on: Tuesday 01 September 09 15:15 BST (UK)  »
Gladys Ivy Willis 1925-2007

Gladys was my great aunt, i was her carer for 12yrs, she would often tell me a story about the baby she had to have adopted.

Gladys never spoke of the father of her child, all she would say was that he was a married man.
Glad was sent to a Salvation Army Home for Unwed Mothers, she spent 6 weeks nursing her child, a baby girl, born in 1956.
According to Glad, just befor  6 weeks, her baby was adopted, she was allowed to stand behind a curtain and see the couple take her baby.

Glad then married Walter J Baker in 1956, he was alot older than her, and she told me that Walter had refused to take the baby on as his own.
Gladys never had anymore children, she spent the next 25yrs looking after her aged husband.

Glad worked as a barmaid for years, she had a great personality, very bubbly and kind, she would have been a wonderful mum,

So, why am i writing this?
just incase baby Willis may one day google her birth mothers name and find this message, i have some photos and stories to share, and to say that Gladys never forgot you or stopped loving you,

« on: Wednesday 03 June 09 12:52 BST (UK)  »
hi there, x


ok, im looking at this census and im interested in Matilda, registered as a visitor aged 1yrs old, now i cant see if the surname is McCloud? McClean? or something else,
also there is the head, James McCartney and his wife Elizabeth,
then a Julie Toppings lodger, on the next page but in the same household is
Mary Howard lodger, married and her children are down as being related (son/daugh) to the head of the house, can this be right or a mistake,

any thoughts on this please, cheers, kaz, xxxx

Buckinghamshire / Arthur G PLANT 1870
« on: Tuesday 05 May 09 16:41 BST (UK)  »
hi there, x
          i already posted this in the North riding forum....and thanks to the link...
MUST SEE LINK If your ancestors came from Bucks posted by allycat i married up my
plants to their maternal lines.

          i was just wondering if anyone on RC is researching the plant family,
and if there are any plants out there that can claim this family?

my grt granny was Annie Plant 1903-1984 she married Charles Bruce Aitken in 1923,
i have their marriage cert which shows Arthur G Plant (platelayer) as her father,
 
so if anyone can claim and/or correct the info i have, would be great to hear rom you,
kaz, x

in the 1871 England Census
Arthur George Plant 1yrs b 1870/Son  born Charndon, Buckinghamshire,
dad, Joseph 30yrs b 1841 head born Charndon, Buckinghamshire
Mum, Sarah 27yrs b 1844 wife, born Twyford, Buckinghamshire
living in Twyford, Charndon, Buckinghamshire   

Joseph Plant  agricultural labourerer 
Sarah Plant 
William James Plant 7yrs/son 
Mary Anne Plant 5yrs/daughter 
Thomas Jesse Plant 4yrs/son 
Frederic Alfred Plant 2yrs/son 
Arthur George Plant 1yrs/son 

also i noticed on the census in the same street is...
Isaac plant 37yrs agricultural labour
Martha/wife 33yrs
Miriam?/daughter 13yrs
Diana/daughter 11yrs
John/son 9yrs agricultural labourer (at 9 yrs old?)
Samual/son 7yrs
Betsy/daughter 4yrs
Thomas/son 2yrs
Anne/daughter 2months

could be a brother of Joseph?



1901 England Census
Arthur G Plant b 1870 31yrs, Charndon, Buckinghamshire,(head)
his wife Elizabeth b 1873 28yrs, Bedale, Yorkshire,
they lived in Darlington, St John, Durham 
Arthur was a platelayer N.E.R ?
Williamth Plant 4yrs son (says William on original page)
Lilian Plant 3yrs  daughter
John T Lamb 19yrs  Boarder, platelayer
......................................

then in 1911 census they were living in
East Cowton, North allerton, County Yorkshire, North Riding
Lillian Plant 12yrs daughter
Annie Plant 7yrs daughter (my grt granny)     
Arthur Plant 5yrs son
William is missing in 1911, he would have been 14yrs, would he have been
to young to leave behind? or maybe he died.
