My Mother went in that home before she had her baby. Her baby was born in New Cross Hospital in January 1954, she never said if she was there over the Christmas period only that her mother sent her there so not to disgrace the family, her father was ok with her staying at home in West Bromwich, but her mother wasn't. I don't know how long mother and Baby stayed together but her daughter was born on the 3/Jan/1954 and was registered on the 29/Jan/1954 by my mother so it must have been after then, think Mum told me 6 weeks she was with her. Mum's occupation was listed as Shop assistant (film equipment wholesalers)

Hi yes that is what I have researched Martha Taylor married Edward Cartwright in 1853 he died in 1863 so Martha was a widow The jobber's were her grandparents. William Wootton was married to Sarah but there were no children from the marriage. Sarah died leaving William a widower. Henry Taylor is Martha's brother.Martha and William must have got together sometime and had Joseph. On Joseph's birth cert Martha states her name as Wootton formerly Taylor, all the pieces fit together that they were all related.
Thanks

Leah Cartwright was the second wife of Solomon they married in 1889 and had daughter Leah in 1890.
His first wife and mother of John James was Ann Tranter whom he married in 1875.

I have come to the conclusion there are two Joseph Wootton/Wooton's around at the same time one was basically from Wolverhampton, and one from Willenhall (which is the one I am after I believe) its just now trying to sort them out one born 1873, and one born 1874 according to census.

Thanks for your input much appreciated

Hi,
Excuse me if I get I get this wrong as it is my first post.

I am looking for my elusive gt grandfather, his name was Joseph Cartwright and according to the 1911 census was born in Willenhall, Staffordshire. This is the only census I can find him in, he is on there with wife Elizabeth and daughter Gladys(my grandmother) along with two others.

On his marriage cert to Elizabeth(Lizzie) he states that his father is William Cartwright(locksmith journeyman). The only Joseph Cartwright I can find with a father William with the same occupation is on the 1901 but was born in 1893 so not this one.

But what caught my attention on the same 1901 census is that there is a boarder named Joseph Wootton, born in 1873, with the same occupation I have for my grandfather. I am probably being a bit far fetched here but could he have possible changed his name from Wootton to Cartwright? and how do I try and rule it out (or in).

This is a brick wall I have been trying to crack for a couple of years now, and any help would be much appreciated.

If anymore information is needed let me know.

Thankyou for reading
Yvonne
