Trudy Report 4 Dec 2014 09:57

Good morning everyone I am wondering if you lot could give me some advice please?
I am trying to find my grandads mum I know she was called Muriel primrose maunder b abt 1893 and my grandad was Herbert Cameron maunder b 1913 westham. My grandad was born out of wed lock so never knew who his dad was, my mum says that my grandad would never talk about his childhood, and at one point there was talk of him being adopted by a family member?? I don't know if this is true tho..but I was wondering if Muriel may have married after my grandad was born??
I have tried looking on family search and ancestry but can't find any record of her apart from her birth (1893) dartford.
Is there any other way of finding her that I have missed.

Trudy :-)

No I don't unfortunately all I know is she was sent away to a place in westham to give birth to my grandad in 1913 (westham) but after that I don't know anything about her?.
My grandad was born in 7 Exeter road Canning Town.

That's all I know

I can't see her either - vaguely wondered about an error here (the name is Myrtle P not F I think), but this is extreme straw-clutching!!

Might be worth investigating, in view of spelling on birth index, namely Myril. I can't find a trace of either Myrtle or Muriel Lee. Hyam probably born 1883 West Ham, this may be his death, but can't see him on London electoral registers to check who he is with.

Might be worth buying the marriage cert, to see if Myrtle is perhaps a mistranscription.

Or Hyam's death cert, to see who he was married to.

I wouldn't be able to resist if it were me, but I might be encouraging you so I can preen if it's right! (Or go & hide if it's wrong). :-D

Lol I think I'm going to have to send off for one if not both of them. I'm curious now cos she's like the scarlet pimpernel she just disappeared without a trace.

It would be very interesting to know cos then I can look for other possible children besides my grandad.

Thank you again tho you really are brilliant

Thank you

The only Lee / Maunder children born within a reasonable time frame from the marriage, were born in Hull and Sculcoates.
