Hi
Thanks for the quick reply and welcome
Yes my grandmother was born in 1928 so wont show up on any census yet. I would love to get her Birth certificate, but to be honest i wouldn't know where to start! She's not too sure exactly where she was born although it was London. As far as i'm aware her mother was still alive when she was sent away. She told me her mother was married 3 times and had quite a few children. They were living in a 1 bedroom flat and according to my grandmother they were too much to cope with and were sent away. She doesn't even know her mothers name as she was 4 when it happened.
