OK no problem! Hopefully people are able to reply on this thread 🙂

We have now confirmation that the Dorothy Lilian Carroll birth certificate is the correct on, so now trying to find Norah Carroll her mother, the only information we have is that she was a domestic servant at Southwell House which on investigation was a house for fallen women. So it now becomes guess work as to who Norah was, unless anyone can point me in the right direction.

How were you able to confirm that Dorothy Lilian Carroll b.1913 is the lady you were seeking?

If I'm reading everything right, she married as Dorothy Elizabeth, was Elizabeth D. (Dorothy) on 1939 register, and I cannot find a death entry for her with these names.   When did she die and what Christian names were given then?

We have found her birth certificate in her belongings stating Dorothy Lilian, my husband one of her sons wasn’t aware of his mother being called anything other than Dorothy Elizabeth which was on her marriage certificate, the 1939 register and her death certificate, she died in 1990 in Ireland

A Nora Carroll birth was registered Mar.qtr.1892 Nottingham - GRO index shows illegitimate.

Cannot find her in 1901 census but 1911 index on familysearch shows her as a servant working in Croydon.   Did she become pregnant and get sent back to her birthplace to have the child there?

I also found this person, her name Nora didn’t have h at the end( Norah) don’t know if this is important or not.

Where on Gro does it say she was illegitimate? Just for my interest.

Unless I find a Norah Carroll together with Dorothy Lilian on a record together I can never be sure we have the right person. How would you go forward Annette?

The GRO's own index (on same site where you order certificates) shows mothers maiden names - if it is just '-' that means the child was illegitimate.

Unless I find a Norah Carroll together with Dorothy Lilian on a record together I can never be sure we have the right person. How would you go forward Annette?
The only record which will show them together (supposing that Dorothy was raised by her mother) would be the 1921 census so you'll have to wait awhile.

Thanks for your help, I will eagerly await the 1921 census.
