Hi
I'm sorry that I don't have much to go on .. but .. I am looking for my husbands grandmother Martha Jones born 22/7/1895 father's name Edward Jones a bricklayer (info from marr. cert). She said that her father died when she was young and her mother remmarried and put her into a home as her new husband did not want Martha. The home was run by nuns. I cannot find a birth certificate in the relevant quarter on the GRO and have asked for many searches using Edward as a reference check as fathers name. She was probably fostered in her late teens by my husbands great grandparents and ended up marrying one of their sons. Does anyone have any idea how I could find out where she was? I wish the surname was not Jones, am I looking for a needle in a haystack?!
All suggestions gratefully received.
