thank you retiring type, thats so informative
a glimpse into the past

that interesting retiringtype
a bit more of an insight, where did you find that info. By time my uncle was 5 my nan had married my grandad.
I put the google books thing in search and didnt come up

Thank you Bert So Nan was in a mother and baby home, would that be cause she wasnt living at home? or what other reason could there be? She would have been 20 at the time. Says she was a domestic servant, so presume that meant she had a job, maybe? Its fascinating trying to put all these things toge...

Just got a birth cert of nans first child, says residence of informant as St Hilda, Penny Lane, Wavertree. Baby born in Liverpool maternity hospital in 1919
Would appreciate any information anyone might have

thank you MaryA
are you able to suggest any facebook groups
I'm thinking this may be a small two up, two down house maybe a scullery on the back

So looks like a small house she lived in, so hard trying to piece things together. Wonder if thats her parents home?
Do you think there would be any photographs of houses in starfield street

Thank you MaryA
take it Starfield Street been demolished

Why would a birth mother adopt her own child aged 14, child born out of wedlock, mother subsequently married but not to birth father. only mothers name on adoption cert. child born with mothers maiden name but known by her married name. thinking could it be that the step dad didnt want to adopt and ...

I no longer live in liverpool, would these records be held at Kew maybe?
hoping she just went there for the birth

She was born in May 1923. she was born out of wedlock.
