Find Ancestors

I am looking for Martha Tweed ,I know from the birth Certificate of the birth of her daughter Rosa Frances Tweed 1877, that they were in Newmarket , but stuggling. to find mother and father of Martha,and if they were from Newmarket,
Thanking anyone for any help

Birth reg. shows no Mother's maiden name, looks like an illegitimate birth. In which case you may never know who the Father was.

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
TWEED, ROSA FRANCES -
GRO Reference: 1877 S Quarter in NEWMARKET Volume 03B Page 519

Possibly Rosa in 1881 - with Mother Martha and Grandparents Tweed

Thank you very much, youve been a big help. greyghost and MargretM,

Charles in 1871 showing earlier birth year more likely. Perhaps more than 1 daughter having children pre marriage ! Not seeing a birth reg. for Virtue or Florence unfortunately.

So if Martha was Frances Martha or Martha Frances, this newspaper article could be about her. It's around the right time for Rosa.
