Nash family in Southport lancashire

[davetur]

I am rather stumped as to how to research this Nash family as I have almost no information on them from living relatives. I have a birth certificate for Joyce Annette (Nash), born 1926, born at 5 Lathom Rd. fathers name and occupation is blank as I expected. Name of mother: Eva Nash of 143 Princess Road Moss Side Manchester. Signature , description and res of informant: Eva Nash mother 5 Latham Road Southport. At the end of the row the superintendent registrar has written 'Adopted' as I expected. I presume that once Eva fell pregnant, she left Manchester to stay with her mother, Eva, in Southport, where she gave birth and put the child up for adoption. There do seem to be a lot of Eva Nashs from birth and census records, but none that I can pick out as obvious family. I know quite a lot about Joyce Annette's adoptive family (Prices). Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I would be trying to locate electoral registers for 143 Princess Road c1926 as that is the 'home' address Eva has given for herself at Joyce's birth in case the family living there were relations

It may just be me reading incorrectly-but there's just one Eva in this scenario.

Does it not mean that Eva herself, as mother to the baby was the informant?

[rosie99]

I agree with you Maureen, just one Eva

Searching around the internet seems to indicate that it was St Katherine’s Maternity Home.

That makes sense,heywood.

There was an Eva Annette Nash died aged 100,in feb 2006, she was born 11/06/1905, she died in Kent.

Found her in 1939 register although she is calling herself Annette Nash and listed as widowed, living with a son called Brian, maybe not the right person, although the Annette a bit of a coincidence. If she is the right lady her parents are Albert Edward & Mary Nash.
