I have no idea who her mother was. I suspect that she may have her birth cert in her mothers name. Although she names her father on the marriage cert, I do not think this was him. I do have evidence that she was living with that family in 1917, so I have the right man.

I think she may have changed her surname to his when living with them, in 3 rooms, a family of 11. ( which argues with the photo) There was no formal adoption then, you could just change your name, but she did give my father that surname as his middle name, so there is hope!!

What a tangled web!!

I'm not an expert on the clothes - but there are Rootschatters who are - but I'd have thought a milkman or siphon filler would not have had the means to buy such clothes, especially as there were 11 in the family she lived with.  I wouldn't be surprised if her birth father was a doctor (perhaps already married) who gave money for her upkeep.

Hi Lizzie,

The story was that her father was a Doctor and her mother the matron of a nursing home where he worked. This may well be the case. As you say, her clothes are certainly better than one would expect. I may try posting this on another forum.

Thank you for helping me to sort the pictures and confirming what I was thinking.
