Title: Birth
Post by: heathera1940 on Saturday 07 June 25 18:18 BST (UK)
I have discovered on the 1921 census that my paternal Uncle. William James Northam born in Devon was living with his mother, my grandmother Isabella Northam and an Albert C Crandon born 1920 in Wellington Somerset. Listed as his nephew.I have traced the birth of Albert . He is listed as Albert Charles Crandon Northam, mother's maiden name Northam. I would like to find out the exact name of his mother. Hope this makes sense. Any help appreciated.
Many thanks Heather

The birth certificate for him would be the best option.

I did think that would be the answer.

Digital copy costs £3.  Much cheaper than the other options

Bit of guesswork otherwise.  If he was a nephew then technically one of his sisters or brothers would be the parent. 

Possible sister Ellen Rose who is 21 in 1921 and a servant.

Do update us if you find out.

If you look at the 1921 image it looks like grandson has started to be entered under Isabella's name

Ellen Rose Northam was b 1899 Honiton - mmn Billing.  She was Isabella's daughter

She married William F Hallett 1929 Bristol

I have got that info thank you. I'm really not sure who in the family knew about Albert's birth , Her second illegitimate child was known within the family.
