I have found them, thanks so much. I can also confirm this is definitely the lady we're looking for, as I'm informed the address in Bournemouth also appears in her letters.

Wonderful. I will go in search, thank you.

I have asked the Local Studies folk at the central library if the Calthorpe Estate records say who lived at 14, Vernon Road at the time.

The fact that her birth year was correct, that she was baptised in Edgbaston and that she divorced (we knew she'd been married before) seems to be fairly strong evidence, but I will see what else I can discover. Could you tell me where I might find the divorce documents? I would like to view...

Hello, I'm a newcomer on here and I wonder if anyone can help me? I am trying to track down any connections to a Maud Heaton who died in France in 1909 aged 23? Her address had previously been listed as Vernon Road, Edgbaston. Any and all help gratefully appreciated.
