Hello, I am new to Rootschat and hope I'm doing this right! I am searching for Gladys Woodbridge who was born to an unmarried Mother in 1915 in Colnbrook, Buckingham. I know she married in 1935 in Birmingham and worked at Dudley Road Hospital so wondered if, maybe she was sent to the attached workhouse after her birth. If anyone has any ideas how to find the records for "inmates" at the workhouse I would be grateful. Thank you, Julie.
Good morning Julie and a warm welcome to Rootschat .
www.freebmd.org.uk in March qtr 1916 Eton ,Buckinghamshire . mmn Woodbridge
so this tells us she was probably born in either late November or December 1915 .
Girl Guide has pointed out her Registration but there is also a J Woodbridge born 1918 Eton,Bucks mmn Woodbridge . could he a be a brother ?....as this is during WW1 it was not that uncommon for a woman to have children to a married man who couldn't divorce his wife for Religious reasons .
Do you know the name of the mother of Gladys ?? if so did she marry ?
what makes you think the mother went to the Workhouse after the birth of Gladys ?
I think the birth certificate of Gladys Woodbridge is a must as Girlguide has suggested
