Hi

Have you thought of 'Asking a Librarian' at the 'South Aus Library'?
They MAY be able to help - or even offer some advice.

Lancashire / Re: Liverpool homes for 'fallen' women 1900s

Hi Katie

Back to your earlier notes - (on here) .. can you somehow check records of his actual 'birthplace'?(you've listed possible ''homes'').  That would be the best starting point - especially as you'd know your grandmother's full name.

'Salvation Army's 'family tracing unit' -on-line have access to ALL files (bmd/Hospitals/NHS/etc) 
The 'Salvo's have an office in London (poss more) for ''interviews''.  (They have a site on-line)

They helped find someone else's 'missing father' who had re-married and settled in Aus 1960's.
(They only charge if any fees incurred - 'free' for family members if on pensions)

(The Salvo's are 'worldwide')

Family History Beginners Board / unmarked communal graves
« on: Monday 17 October 22 05:42 BST (UK)  »
In case this helps others....
when tracing burials of my grt/grandad (d1912 Catford) and grandad (d1950 Lewisham) I contacted their 'Lewisham Council' -where they had both lived/died. 

The Council directed me onto their Public Library's 'local studies' unit which holds all burial records for each of their 5 cemeteries.

They were found to be in separate cemeteries ('Ladywell' & 'Hither Green') - (sadly) in  'communal unmarked' graves. (buried with about 6 others who had died same week -just one small statue for one of the  others)

Fortunately I was permitted to leave them both 'non-bio-degradable plastic' notices (+peg).  (+small glass dome of flowers).

(my own local funeral parlour (in Aus) prepared the notices (freely) -they use them as a temporary measure - but in my/'our' case - permanent)
