Lily Blanche Elizabeth HARRISON born 1899

[dpearson]

Looking for forum assistance in tracking down any information on Lily.
In 1923 aged 24 she was an unmarried mother and gave birth to a little girl in Paddington, London.   A short time later the baby was given up for adoption and I can find no trace of Lily after that date. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jennifer,

That's her, she is in the 1911 census as well.  
I am hoping that someone may have an idea as to how I trace her after 1923.

Many thanks

Thanks Gortonboy,

Is the record online?  I would be interested to know the destination port in Australia

Camberwell is a suburb of London so its in the right general area. Last known address was Andalus Road Stockwell but that was in 1911.

Call it a coincidence but I have not been doing much at all on the family tree side of things for a long while - well not since the 1911 census data was made available. Today I was browsing through my records and pondered on Lily - her baby is still alive and will be 93 in August!
I revisited this site and then went through all my notes etc - I noticed it was exactly 6 years to the day since my first post on the subject.  I rechecked all the leads but nothing new and then I thought I would check the marriages and deaths both in the UK and Australia ( just in case she was the Lily on the boat to Sydney)
Nothing in the Australian records but I might have got lucky - A Lily Blanche Harrison died in 1993 born in 1899. I dont recall these records being available six years ago - anyway I have ordered the death certificate .......

Hi Dave, glad you decided to re-visit your posting. Also pleased that daughter D* is still alive and celebrating 93 birthday soon. As a matter of interest the dob given on the death reg is given as 2/12/1899. This is also the date given on her return to the uk in 1956. However her birth registration is Sept q 1899 so her birth must have been July/Aug/Sept of that year, she was baptised 17.09.1899. One record on A*try would suggest her birth date as 14.8.1899, do you know her exact birth date.
