Hi Ken - seems you're familiar with the local geography - hope you find the right one!

Hi MSH

Well, not all THAT familiar with the area, though I was born in Tottenham but was adopted from there at an early age during the war

A general rule in genealogy is to NEVER ASSUME.

If someone had a birth registered in Jan-Mar then they could have been born in November or December the previous year.

I guess another line of enquiry could be baptisms.  If you find one you are not looking for then you can eliminate them from your enquiries.
