Good idea but haven't done so yet. My guess is that she was put in a  home and forgotten about. I'll follow through with the Barnados records and see what happens. Really appreciate your assistance

John Thomas Squire in 1927.South Shields. The only dead end appears to be her birth and parents.

Thanks for your help. I only have the 1911 census details to go by, no mention in the 1901. The age she claimed to be was always changing ! I guess some women are sensitive about their age. If in doubt guess low and never ask  ;) I wish I'd asked my mum these questions when she was alive. I've emailed Barnados for info on tracing relatives. Hoping for a reply. I moved to Canada 12 years ago.

Hi
Yes, I'm clutching at straws ! She was known as Florence May Morant. She never talked about her past but I was told that she had polio as a child and was in a Barnados home. My mother never got on with her side of the family so it's a brick wall to me.

I have the same dilemma. Born 1898 in South Shields. At the Barnado's home in 1911. My Great Nan did not move to Canada though. No birth records for her either.
