Do you believe that your Mother's Mother was Edith M Whitehead who married Ermest Ball?

Have you got the birth certificate for Edith M Whitehead.

We need to know that it is the correct Edith before we go looking for living relatives.

If she is the correct Edith we can try and trace Edith's surviving children, or children-in-law and then grandchildren

Do you believe that anyone knows of your Mother's existence, or would it be a complete surprise to them?

Have you tried looking at the ER for 1934/5 for Whiteheads at the address on the cert?

Please confirm whether there was a second forename for the mother on the birth cert...........

There is a birth for a Valerie M in 1942, Fulham (who does not show in Lesley's tree), and a possible marriage in Fulham in 1958, so rather young.
Awaiting feedback from Lesley.

Lesley has Edith Whitehead, 1916, Fulham in her tree, so this one?
Births Dec 1916
Whitehead Edith M Mitchell Fulham 1a 440

so this could be a marriage:
Marriages Mar 1934
Ball Ernest S Whitehead Fulham 1a 601
Whitehead Edith M Ball Fulham 1a 601
(3 possible births for this marriage, 1935 to 1942)

I think you need to find Edith's exact date of birth to see if this is her death:
Edith Margaret Ball
Birth Date: 21 Sep 1916
Date of Registration: Dec 1994
Age at Death: 78
Registration district: Merton
Inferred County: Surrey
Register Number: B32
District and Subdistrict: 2441
Entry number: 180

However, she could have divorced and married again.

Have you done any research?

www.freebmd.org.uk

Do you know when and where her mother was born?

If you don't know, or can't find, that info, you can't really hope to trace any of her relatives. Unless she married, of course..........

Presumably you mean 1935?
Are you in contact with any siblings of Rose, or know of any uncles or aunts?
Thanks.

Added;
Do you mean this birth?
Births Dec 1934
Whitehead Rosemary A See Huntingdon 3b 285

But marriage wrong;
Marriages Sep 1915
See Lydia Whitehead Huntingdon 3b 754
Whitehead Walter See Huntingdon 3b 754

Added;
You have her in your tree as Rose Whitehead, 1933, London.

So this birth?
Births Dec 1933
WHITEHEAD Rose M Whitehead Kensington 1a 103

Do you know what happened to Edith - who or if she married after Rose's birth?
Thanks
