The mysterious Isabel(la) Jane BURKINSHAW

[jennifer c]

It is a shame they do not give any address or fathers occupation on the baptism, is there an address on the birth certificate?

It looks as though she keeps her skills as a launderess in later life.

Hi Jennifer, the father's name isn't on Florence Maud's birth certificate as I said but the address where she was born is 13 North Road Wimbledon. Haven't been able to unearth anything about that address but wondered if it was a single mother's  hostel or something.

That's odd, Frederick was a laundryman the year before....

Charlotte jnr. husband becomes a laundry engineer by 1891 census. Perhaps they put carpenter against both father's?
