When she came to see me I have just remembered she mentioned she had a brother and she was convinced he had used her name to get his girlfriend medical care :-)

I was told she was an unmarried mother of 16and girs/women were at that time sent away from their own home town by their parents to give birth then give the child up for adoption and return home and also I was told that Denmark nursing home was run by Canadian nurses for Canadian fathered children whether this is actual I have no way of knowing all I know there were Canadian troops billited around the area at the time

Tree on ancestry says she sadly died in 2009

The tree owner looks to be a granddaughter of Evelyn

Looks like they only had one daughter in 1955

If Evelyn was born in 1927, she has a sister born in 1930, Marion, who is in someone's tree on here.

So contact Romford Library to see who was living at 123 Balgores lane in 1948 as I doubt she was living on her own....her parents may have sent her to surrey to have you.

But as I have posted a census's of the father of Evelyn born 1927 living very close to that address with a family business being a Grocer it looks more likely to me

And the story that I was told that she was 16 so possibly her parents sent her away to have the chid as it wasnt the done thing for an unmarried girl/woman to have a child out of wedlock :-(

greenbird Report 20 Nov 2013 23:11

All I know is that she came from gidea park to have me in redhill Surrey as the birth certificate and my adoption papers give her address as that :-(

jax Report 20 Nov 2013 23:05

You just said

'but it dosnt give any indication of her age'

so why think she was the one born 1932... 130+ miles away from Romford?

greenbird

greenbird Report 20 Nov 2013 23:00

And as she was only 16when she had me counting back takes me to 1932 :-) and when another peson looked this up a little while ago it was the same names up in Nottingham that seems to keep coming up

Well from what I was told she was 16 and had me at the denmark nursing home which became linkfield house I have all that documentation but it dosnt give any indication of her age :-)

Do you have anywhere that says she is 16 or are you just guessing that?

Are you saying this could not be your mother?
