Thank you! This is wonderful. Now I can start piecing together the life of this great grandmother I never knew I had.

Durham / Re: Isabella Chapman, Elm Street, South Moor

Yes, who Isabella was. I don't know if there any electoral registers for 1921 Durham that could help point towards the right parents as I have the Elm Street address. I don't want to go tripping down the wrong rabbit hole while trying to find Isabella.
I don't know Durham, so am a bit clueless when it comes to what is in the area.

Durham / Isabella Chapman, Elm Street, South Moor
« on: Friday 07 October 16 21:30 BST (UK) »
When I started my tree a million years ago I never bothered to get my grandmother's birth cert as she told me all the details of her birth and her parents and sisters, so I never questioned what she told me. She passed away two years ago with her papers going to my aunt who passed away last year and then they traveled to my uncle who today passed them to me as the keeper of the records. In the pile was a Deed Poll petition filled out by my grandmother in 1939 in it she stated that she wanted to abandon all ties to her mother's name as she had been raised from the age of six weeks by the people she saw as her parents.
All I have to go on is the details in the Deed Poll and her original birth cert which was attached to it. My grandmother was born Olive Chapman on 11 November 1921 to Isabella Champman of 74 Elm Street, south Moor, U.D. She was born at 1 Newbiggin Road, Lanchester, which I now know was the workhouse.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you seen his obituaries, they are quite extensive and would surely tell you about his family

The Lighter Side / Re: Am I the only person that does this?

One of my great grandfathers walked out on his family in 1900, never to be heard from again.. So I reckon he absconded with another woman

The Lighter Side / Re: When you find an error on someone else's tree, do you tell them?
« on: Thursday 14 June 12 16:28 BST (UK) »
I have told some people before but sometimes it falls on deaf ears, what is worse is those that have copied parts of my tree before I learned of errors I had without citing sources so it is just more false information out there.
