finding a parent

[lynne april]

HI i am new to this site and wondered if anyone had information as to the parents of Florence Ethel Wolverson born 16.12.1907, she died in 1984 January.  I am her grand daughter and my father doesn't know her parents names so my family tree has a complete side missing!!   she had sisters called Lydia and Ann (known as Nancy) and a brother called Cyril.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat.

This looks like her birth registration.

Florence Ethel Wolverson, March Quarter 1908, Wolverhampton.  Vol 6b Page 661

A copy of her birth cert should give her parents names along with her mother's maiden name.

Hope this helps.

Hi LynneApril,

there is a big group of Wolverson researchers who all email each other regularly to help with the research.

One of the researchers has a tree with most of the known Wolversons on it.  Your Florence Ethel is there, no details for her but her links to the rest of us are known.  If you would like to PM me with an email address, I can introduce you to the rest of the group.

One of my great-great-grandmothers was a Sarah Wolverson, daughter of Edward Wolverson and Sarah Groutage.  You seem to be descended from Edward's brother William.

We'd love to hear from you,
Sheila

Ooops sorry, 

I got so excited, I got carried away there.  The brother's name was Thomas.  Their father's name was William.
